    The Pecan (山核桃) Thief

When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather's farm in Kansas.Grandpa had sent me into the woods to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.

Pecan picking was really ________ work and my little basket was only half full.I wasn't about to ________ Grandpa down.Just then something caught my eye.A large brown squirrel was a few feet away.I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and________ in a large hole in the trunk.A moment later the squirrel jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut.Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.

The hiding place was not so secret anymore, I thought.I rushed over to the tree and looked into the hole.It was ________ with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking.This was my ________.Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket.Now it was full! I was so ________ of myself.I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.So I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I'd ________ the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in watching the squirrel and his habits.Then he did something that ________ me.He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders and said.“But a good man should never take advantage of someone else's hard work.”

Suddenly I felt a bit sorry.There was only one thing I could do.I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
