The crops were 小题1: .The rivers were long gone back into the 小题2: .If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true 小题3: of sharing and 小题4: the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.
I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. Minutes after he 小题5: into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
