Long ago,in
a small village of Wakefield lived two farmers,Harry and Peter.Harry
was very hard.working while Peter was 36 .Every
day Harry got up early and came home late,but Peter walked
around for fun.
One summer there
was no 37 and the crops(莊稼)were dying.Harry
thought,“I must do something to save these crops,or
they shall die.”With this 38 in mind,he
went out to find a river so that he could dig a canal(溝渠)to
his field.He walked on and on, feeling tired and thirsty.After
a 39 search,he found a river full of blue water.He
was
very happy.He
started digging a canal to his field. 40 it was noon his
wife sent their daughter to bring Harry home 41 lunch.But
Harry did not go.He did not want to
leave his work
unfinished.He completed his work 42 at
night.He Was very satisfied.
He went home。had
a good meal and 43 into a sound sleep.
Peter did the same.But he was not at all determined(有決心的).He also 44 digging a
canal to his
field but he didn’t have his work completed.His field did not
get 45 water
and all his crops
died.
Harry’s field
would be watered when needed.He had a good harvest because of his hard work.
