A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. “Coca-Cola. Drink-Cola-Cola,” the sign said.

　“Boy!” the silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned around quickly to see who had called.

　An old woman was standing at her door.

　“You boy! Come here this minute!”

　Slowly the boy 　21　 　onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman’s house. When he arrived at her house, she 　22　 　out her hand and wrapped(缠住)her 　23　 　old fingers around his arm.

　“Help me inside, boy,” she said. “Help me 　24　 　to my bed. What’s your name?”

　“Joseph,” he said.

　The old woman on the bed tried to 　25　 　up, raising herself on her elbow(肘). Water　 　26　 　 from her eyes and mouth. The sight of her made Joseph feel 　27　 　.

　“I’m dying, Joseph. You can see that, can’t you? I want you to write a 　28　 　for me. There’s paper and pencil on the table there.”

　Joseph looked down at the 　29　 　, and then looked out of the window. He saw the sign again, “Coca-Cola. Drink Cola-Cola.”

　“I want my silver ring to 　30　 　to my daughter.”

　Joseph bent his small body over the table and 　31　 　the pencil slowly across the paper.

　“There’s my Bible(圣经),” the old woman said. “That’s for my daughter, too. I want a 　32　 　Christian burial(基督葬礼)with lots of singing. Write that down, too. That’s the last 　33　 　of a poor old woman.”

　The boy laboured over the paper. Again he looked out of the window.

　“Here. Bring it here so I can 　34　 　it.”

　Joseph found the Bible, and, 　35　 　the paper inside, laid it next to the bed.

　“ 　36　 　me now, boy,” she sighed. “I’m tired.”

　He ran out of the house.

　A cold wind blew through the 　37　 　window, but the old woman on the bed 　38　 　nothing. She was dead. The paper in the Bible moved back and forth in the wind. 　39　 　on the paper were some childish letters. They 　40　 　the words, “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola.”
