A serious tornado struck the town where Peggy Lewis and her husband Harris Lewis lived. The two suffered 1 (injury) and were sent to hospital for treatment.
When they returned three days later, they saw that their house was 2 ruins. For Peggy,the first thing 3 she wanted to look for was her family Bible, a present 4 (give) on her wedding day. For years, she had used it to record her family’s history: family photos, letters and a handkerchief from her grandmother so on.
When two volunteers showed up to help the couple dig their way through the mess, she 5 (beg)them to find it if possible. After two hours of searching, one of the volunteers ran up to her with a book 6 (lie) in his hands. The book had flown meters away, but it was not badly damaged except that 7 (it) cover was gone.
A few of the treasures inside the book did go missing. But ever slowly and 8 (gradual) they too began reappearing in Lewis’ life. Days after the Bible was found, volunteers discovered one of the photos outside the home. Two weeks later, a neighbor found 9 handkerchief nearby. “It was such a shock,” says Lewis, who could not control her 10 (admire) for the miracle.
