There would be a heavy snow as an old man started home. The old man had stayed out hunting longer than ever, but he still had no luck. Then he heard a sad cry, he saw a white crane (鹤) ______ in a trap (捕猎器). It was so beautiful that he could not kill it,he helped it from the trap, and the crane ______ quickly.
Later that evening, the old man and his wife sat by the fire after supper while the storm howled (呼啸) outside. Soon there was a ______ on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a tall, thin girl ______ a summer skirt standing there.
“Come in! Come in!” said the old man. He led her to the ______. “You poor child! Where did you come from?”
“I lost my way,” said the girl, “can I ______ with you until the storm is over?”
“Of course,” said the old couple.
One day the girl said to the couple, “You’ve been so ______. I think of you as my parents, and I want to repay you for your kindness. I will weave cloth that you can sell it to the village. ______ while I am weaving,please don’t come to watch me weaving.”
Soon the loom (织布机) was on and the girl worked far ______ the night. Early the next morning she brought out the cloth. “Now,” said the girl, “you must take it to the village. You will get a good ______ for it.” The old man was very pleased when he returned home with much gold.
One morning the girl had imagined weaving the most beautiful cloth of all. Then she went to the room and
______ the door. She worked for two days, day and night. On the third day the old man noticed that the door stood
______ —only a crack (窄缝). There at the loom was a great white crane weaving the
______ with its feather (羽毛). The crane looked up. The old couple turned away immediately, but it was too late. A short time later, the girl came out with the most
______ cloth. “Ah,my parents,” she said, “Now that you have seen me in my true form. I cannot still stay with you any longer. And this is my
______ gift to you.”
