Finally, he found a river full of water. He was very happy and started digging a canal to his field.
When it was noon, his daughter asked Harry to ________ for lunch. But Harry did not go. He did not want to leave his ________ unfinished. He finished digging the canal late at night. He was very happy. He went home, had a good meal and ________ very well that night because he was no longer worried.
