When I was a child,my parents often took me to a run﹣down house in a thick forest.No other children ever stayed there.I didn't even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.
I could never(42) (understand)what the attraction of the house was,even for my parents,who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book.The woman in the house,my father's distant cousin,was a terrible cook.
One day,when I was hanging around the garden behind the house,I noticed a wooden house.It was clearly abandoned(废弃的)and(43) (hide)completely behind tall trees and huge grass.As I walked towards it,I heard a noise,like an animal moving hurriedly away.I was about tu turn away when I saw an old man(44) (stand)at the door.I was much scared.
"Please don't tell me you saw me,"he said."They never use this place,and I have nowhere else to live.""Don't worry,"I said."I(45) (not tell)anyone.But are you all right out here?I mean﹣do you have enough to eat?"
The old man(46) (shake)his head and said that he hadn't had a big meal for ages.I decided to put this right as soon as I could.The same evening,I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and,while no one was looking,I emptied some of the food into it.Later,I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man,whose name I had discovered was Taff.
I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile on Taff's face when he (47) (eat)the food.From then on,my visits to the old house had a purpose,and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.
