It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were      . Every day, my husband and his brothers would go about the hard      of  trying to get water to the fields. If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything.
It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and       a miracle﹙奇迹﹚. I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He wasn’t walking as usual, but with a serious purpose. He was obviously walking with great effort, trying to be as       as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the      , he came running out again, toward the house.
Moments later he was once again walking in those slow purposeful steps towards the woods. He kept doing this for about an hour. Finally I decided to      him on his journey.
He was cupping﹙使成杯形﹚ both hands in front of him as he walked, being very        not to spill the water he held in them. Then I saw a tiny deer lying on the ground,       suffering from dehydration（脱水）, lift its head with great effort to lap up(舔食) the water cupped in my boy's hands.
When the water was      , Billy jumped up to ran back to the house. I was there in front of him. His eyes just filled with      . "I'm not wasting water" was all he said and I hugged him tightly.
As the tears that        my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops… more drops… and more. I looked up at the sky. It was raining!
Some will probably say that this was nothing but a huge      . All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved another.
