Are there any stray (流浪的) animals in your neighborhood or in the wild? How do you feel when you see ________?

 For a long time, we had a fat, fluffy, black, stray ________ in our neighborhood. Sometimes I saw her sitting on my porch (门廊). Sometimes I saw her hiding under my car. Sometimes she even sneaked (潜行) under my house. ________, each time I walked close to her, she ________. Finally, I gave up and decided to give her some independence.

Recently, something ________ happened. This independent stray cat decided to adopt (接纳) my ________, Beth. Each time Beth walks over to my house from her place up the road, she is welcomed ________ the stray cat. The cat walks between her legs, purrs and meows until she gets petted. 

It happened day after day until this morning ________ Beth left her a bowl of cat food. I guess that ended the cat’s straying life because Beth even started ________ the cat “Alice”. I doubt Alice will ever want to ________ an indoor cat because she seems to have made Beth her forever ________. Beth has the kindness and love that draws all kinds of animals to her from dogs, to cats, to birds. 

Isn’t it ________ how love works its way into our hearts and lives? We are minding our own business and ________ we have a new pet, or a new friend, or find a moment to ________ in an act of kindness. Let your love pass onto the lives of others, because ________ spreading love and warmth is the true spirit of life.
