To Save the Baby Eagle ( 鹰)

After Josh lost his father Frank it felt as if he had lost his whole family. He wouldn’t let the baby eagle lose his _1_ . The eagle nest (巢) was down because of last night’s storm. If Frank was still alive he would have been out here instead of staying inside like Sam—Josh’s stepfather (继父). Mum and Sam tried to make Josh happy. But Josh still felt like a __2__ in his own home.

A sound broke into Josh’s thoughts. It was a baby eagle right beside his foot. He hurried home with him. After a quick look Sam said “He’s not __3_ . But we should return him to his parents as quickly as possible.”

“I saw some wood in the yard. Could you help build a new nest?” Sam continued. Josh nodded. Together they __4__ a wooden box. Then they went to rest the box in the tree. While Sam was helping Josh with the necessary tools he said “I wish I could do this instead of you but I’d probably just fall out of the tree.”

Josh _5__ Sam was worried. “I’ll be okay ” he comforted him. “See? I have the safety rope. Even if I miss my footing it will hold me.” As Josh tried to put the box into place the mother eagle swooped (俯冲) down. Josh ducked—and he started to fall. 6 the safety rope held him. “Are you all right?” Sam shouted. “Yes ” Josh called “send the bird up!”

Finally Josh was back with Sam watching the eagles circle above the new nest. They started to cheer as the eagles seemed to land but the great birds flew away at the last minute. If the eagles didn’t accept the new home the baby eagle would be left alone after all—and their 7 was wasted. “What are they waiting for?” Josh asked unhappily.

“They’re being careful.” Something in Sam’s voice made Josh look at his stepfather. “It’s not easy to __8__ change ” Sam went on. “It’s hard to trust Golden Flowers Josh thought about that. Sam could never take the place of Frank but perhaps he could be a friend. Friends helped each other through hard times. Josh remembered how he and Sam had worked together and how 9 Sam had been for his safety.

“She’s coming in ” Sam cried. The mother eagle landed beside her baby.

“Yes!” Josh and Sam shouted. “We 10__ it!” As they high-fived each other Josh felt closer to Sam. Now he and the baby eagle had both come home.
