    "Oh foolish one," said a farmer who was passing by. "The taller trees may seem like they're taking your sunshine, space and wind from you, 7 they're actually helping you. They 8 you from sunburns, heavy rain and other bad weather. You 9 see them taking your space, but you don't see how they help you.

I'm Frank and I want to catch a goat. When the goats are between me and my dog, I hide behind a 1 . Then I shout at my dog, "2 here." He starts to run to me and the goats, too. I stay in my position behind the tree. When one of the goats is close to me, I jump and catch its 3 . But then the goat kicks me in my nose with its other leg.

It hurts a lot. I let the goat 4 and the goat leaves soon.

We aren't successful. This isn't a good way to catch a goat. We have to do it 5 . I tell my dog, "Let's go home. I need some 6 ."

I 7 my fence (栅栏) from January to March. It takes me a long time because I want to make it very strong. During this 8 , I find pigeons(鸽子) on the island.

Their homes are''t in the trees. They live in holes in the rocks. It is 9 to catch them. Their meat is great. I can also 10 and eat their eggs.

When I work on my fence, I find a small bag. I remember there was corn in the bag,11 now there are only some leaves and dust (灰尘) in the bag. I take the 12 outside my camp. I empty the bag because I 13 it for the gunpowder(火药). This happens shortly before the rains.

A month later, I find a few green leaves in that place. It is 14 corn. Words can't express how happy I am. I have corn on the island. It is 15 . I can bake bread in the future.
