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 saw _____ 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 _____ hurt him nor even moved as Billy got down. And then I saw a baby deer______ 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”.

______he stood up and began to turn back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes______ with tears. Very quickly, he explained _______he was not wasting water.

This time, I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him ______ the baby deer alone , for it was ________job.
