When I was young, I spent my summer vacations on my grandparents&39; farm. The summerthat I graduated from college, I __56__ my grandparents once again. When I arrived, I discoveredthat there was

Grandpa’s dog and hunting partner, Rusty, had taken on a very bad __58__ in his old age. He had begun __59__ into the chicken coop(鸡笼 )and eggs. In the eyes of the local famers,__60__ dogs started stealing eggs, there was no __61__ to cure them. They knew there was onlyone thing to be done __62__ such a dog —you had to shoot it and the sooner the __63__. Rusty and Grandpa were old friends.

Grandpa certainly didn&39;t __64__ to shoot Rusty, but heknew it needed to be done. The “egg money ” was Grandma ’s private income, so you canimagine __65__ she felt about the problem. __66__ the inexperienced confidence of youth, I toldGrandpa that I thought I could “ cure ” the eg -stealing dog. I wanted to at least have a __67__ tosave Rusty ’ s life, and save Grandpa from the sadness of __68__ Rusty.

The next morning, I broke open six fresh eggs and put them in Rusty ’s bowl __69__ at thedoor to the chicken coop. Rusty came __70__ and noticed the eggs. He quickly __71__ the eggsand happily walked off for his nap (打盹 ).The following morning I did __72__ thing. I put the eggsa few feet away from the chicken coop, toward the back door of the farmhouse __73__ Grandmausually fed Rusty. The next day I again moved the bowl closer to the house ，and added some dogfood to the eggs. Every day I moved the bowl closer to the back door, mixing more dog food and__74__ eggs. By the time the bowl reached the door, it was all dog food and no eggs. Rusty badagain become __75__ to looking for his food at the back door of the house, and never again wentinto the chicken coop.
