Moments later, 45 , he was once again walking slowly toward the woods. This activity went on for an hour. Finally I couldn’t help 46 him and saw the most amazing 47 .
Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I 48 screamed(尖叫) for him to get away, because a huge deer was dangerously 49 to him at that time. But the deer didn’t even move as Billy knelt down(跪下). I saw a tiny 50 lying on the ground, obviously suffering from 51 , lifting its head to drink the water cupped in Billy’s hands. When the water was 52 , Billy ran back to get more. It then became quite 53 to me what my son was doing.
I stood there, watching my 54 boy working so hard to save another life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God himself was weeping with pride. The rain that day 55 our farm.
