41 a great climbing plant that had grown across a roof beam(房梁), so that we could repair the roof and
42 the walls.
When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a
43 of a blackbird. He then
44 something
45 among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth __
46__ it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his
47 ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet(手镯). He ran into the house to

49 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we plant to feed on,” he said, “but they also want their children to

When my daughter ___

59 loses it, one of the
60 that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.
