Nine-year-old
Jimmy was given a task in school to write a story on "My family's
ancestors(祖先)". The purpose was for the kids
to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (understand) their family history.
In
search of some {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (answer) for his task. Jimmy interviewed his
grandmother who of course {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (know) nothing about the reason why Jimmy
asked such questions.
When she was asked, "Granny, where did
I come from?" his grandma was quite{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(nervous). Why didn't he ask his parents?
She had to be quite careful when talking {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a kid about such a subject. She wanted to buy
some time, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} she replied," Well, sweetie , the stork(鹳鸟) brought you." She said no{#blank#}7{#/blank#}( much), hoping that the subject
would be dropped until Jimmy's parents came back.
"So,
where did Mom come from?"
"The
stork brought her also."
"Well,
then where did you come from?"
"The
stork brought {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(I) too,
sweetie"
"All
right, thanks, Granny."
Jimmy's
grandmother did not think anything more about his {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Three days later, when she was tidying
up and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (look)
at Jimmy's desk, she read the first sentence of his paper," For three
generations(辈)there have been no natural
births in our family".
