    Suppose you will go blind 3 days later? How would you spend those 3 precious days? What would you see before going into darkness forever?

    I should want {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (much) to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness.

    On a clear February morning, a California black bear was set free. Looking around, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(skillful) climbed the nearest tree. From high above the ground, he could see the hundreds of acres{#blank#}2{#/blank#}were now his home. His eyes were filled with {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(curious)

Finally, the day had come. With his new skill and strong body, the bub was ready to be{#blank#}10{#/blank#}his own, and ready to live like a bear should— in the wild.
