He wouldn’t let the baby eagle lose his _31_ . The eagle nest (巢) was down because of last night’s storm. If Frank was still alive, he would have been out here, instead of staying inside like Sam—Josh’s stepfather (繼父). Mum and Sam tried to make Josh happy. But Josh still felt like a __32__ in his own home.A sound broke into Josh’s thoughts. It was a baby eagle, right beside his foot. He hurried home with him. After a quick look, Sam said, “He’s not __33_ . But we should return him to his parents as quickly as possible.”“I saw some wood in the yard. Could you help build a new nest?” Sam continued. Josh nodded. Together they __34__ a wooden box. Then they went to rest the box in the tree. While Sam was helping Josh with the necessary tools, he said, “I wish I could do this instead of you, but I’d probably just fall out of the tree.”Josh _35__ Sam was worried. “I’ll be okay,” he forted him. “See? I have the safety rope. Even if I miss my footing, it will hold me.” As Josh tried to put the box into place, the mother eagle swooped (俯沖) down. Josh ducked—and he started to fall. 36 , the safety rope held him. “Are you all right?” Sam shouted. “Yes,” Josh called, “send the bird up!”Finally, Josh was back with Sam, watching the eagles circle above the new nest. They started to cheer as the eagles seemed to land, but the great birds flew away at the last minute. If the eagles didn’t accept the new home, the baby eagle would be left alone after all—and their 37 was wasted. “What are they waiting for?” Josh asked unhappily.“They’re being careful.” Something in Sam’s voice made Josh look at his stepfather. “It’s not easy to __38__ change,” Sam went on. “It’s hard to trust Golden Flowers Josh thought about that. Sam could never take the place of Frank, but perhaps he could be a friend. Friends helped each other through hard times. Josh remembered how he and Sam had worked together and how 39 Sam had been for his safety.“She’s ing in,” Sam cried. The mother eagle landed beside her baby.“Yes!” Josh and Sam shouted. “We 40__ it!” As they highfived each other, Josh felt closer to Sam. Now he and the baby eagle had both e home.31.
