    I really only meant it as a joke. I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.
   My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹嘘) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download the newest 1 off the Internet."Then he 2everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 3.4 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like  5, so we had to crowd(拥挤) around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 6 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous.
   But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 7 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 8 was to give it back to him the next day. I 9  wanted to see his reaction (反应). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
   But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 10  and almost mad. He started accusing (指责) different people of  11 his phone, but I had it in my  12  the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 13  Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They  14   got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 15 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?

    Devon Miller put the bag onto his back.

    "Did you take the water?" asked his dad.

    "Yes," said Devon.

    "How about the bread? And the map?"

    "Don't worry. I put 1 m my bag, Dad," Devon said. "Come on. Let's go!"

    Devon couldn't wait to start the hike (徒步旅行). It was 2 and Devon expected (期待) a good, long hike. Mr. Miller3a little, because it was his first hiking trip. Usually Devon's mom took him, 4 today she had to work. So Devon's dad decided to have a try.

    "Where do we start?" his dad asked.

    " 5 that tree with the yellow mark (记号)? That's the start of a small road. We just 6 the marks on the trees along the road. The small road goes in a big circle (圆圈). We'll 7 here in a few hours."

    Mr. Miller tried to smile. "Sounds like 8 !"

    Devon and his dad started their hike. It was a beautiful spring day. The weather was cool, but not very cold. They walked and walked. Then they stopped and ate their bread 9 lunch.

    Mr. Miller seemed a lot more relaxed. "This is fun. I'll go hiking with you 10 anytime," he said.

    It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain 1almost a month. The crops were dying. If we 2see some rain soon, we would lose everything

    I was making lunch in the kitchen when I saw my3 son, Billy, walking towards the woods. He was walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes later, he was once again walking towards the woods. I 4 stand it any longer. I went out of the house and followed him.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (溢出）the water he carried.As I came closer, I saw5 sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked straight up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. But the deer 6 hurt him nor even moved as Billy got down. And then I saw a baby deer7 on the ground, thirsty, lift its head to lap up(舔) the water in my boy's hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap. Billy opened it and let the drip slowly fill up his "cup".8he stood up and began to turn back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes9 with tears. Very quickly, he explained 10he was not wasting water. The week before, he had made 11 same trouble with our horses,12 caused him a lecture from his father about the importance of not wasting water.

    This time, I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him 13 the baby deer alone , for it was 14job. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they15by other drops... more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. All I can say is that the rain came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved the little deer.
