It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. 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.
I went back to make sandwiches, 小题6:  that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 小题7:  ,he was once again toward the woods. This 小题8:  went on for an hour—walked 小题9:  to the woods, and ran back to the house.
小题10: I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 小题11:  him on his journey. As I leaned into spy on him. I saw the most  小题12:  sight. Several large deer were in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground 小题13:  suffering from dehydrateion (脱水) and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with 小题14:  effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s 小题15:  .
When the water was 小题16:  ,Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had 小题17:  .Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(细流) began to creep out. When he stood up and began to  小题18:  ,I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.
“I’m not 小题19:  ,”was all he said.
As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly 小题20:  by other drops…more drops…and more.
All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.
