Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Rakesh, he studied and lived in a boarding school(寄宿学校). Every night he jumped over the wall and played outside. He        returned before dawn (黎明) and lay on his bed again, so no one knew that Rakesh went out at        .
One night as usual, Rakesh found         asleep. He decided to play outside again. He went into his teacher—Mrs. Green’s room        and saw her        . Then Rakesh walked out towards the wall. Near the wall, there was a ladder in the bushes, he hid it there. He         the ladders and he climbed up it , then jumped over the wall.        at that time his teacher was awake and saw him going out.
      got up and took away the        from the wall. A few hours        , Rakesh returned. In the dark, he tried to climb        from the wall. Sadly, there was no ladder, instead, Mrs. Green was standing where the ladder was and waited for him. Rakesh was very        to be punished (处罚), but to his surprise, she just helped Rakesh to get onto the ground , said, "Rakesh, at least        a warm coat with you, when you go out at night."
Mrs. Green's        made Rakesh know his own faults. He apologized (道歉) and never went out at night again. It is the        lesson that he has ever had.

Then she saw  6  bird jumping up and down  7  the cage．She could feel its great need for freedom．It wanted to fly into the blue sky．So she let it fly away  8  ．The bird circled(转圈)once，twice，and three times．The girl  9  as the bird flew．She didn’t care about losing the bird any more．She wanted it to be happy．Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder．It sang the  10  song she had ever heard(她所听过的)．
