答案： 饥荒时一位富人每天都会给20个孩子发面包，格蕾琴拿到了最小的面包，回家后发现里面有银币，但她还是决定归还给富人。富人告诉格蕾琴，这是特别奖励给她的。这个故事告诉我们要保持快乐和感恩。
1. is 此处是there be结构，a loaf是单数，故此处答案应该填is。
2. at 此处用固定短语at this hour，是“在这个时候”的意思，故此处答案应该填介词at。
3. quickly 此处用副词修饰动词短语get together，故此处答案应该填quickly。
4. join 空格前的doesn't是助动词的否定形式，其后动词需要用原形，故此处答案应该填join。
5. the 此处用定冠词the来修饰名词，表示特指。
6. smaller 空格前的副词even通常用来修饰形容词比较级，故此处答案应该填比较级形式smaller。
7. pieces many后面接可数名词的复数形式，故此处答案应该填pieces。
8. surprised 格蕾琴的妈妈切开面包后，看到许多银币从里面掉下来，她感到很惊讶。此处be动词之后用形容词，故此处答案应该填surprised。
9. gives 主语Gretchen是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故此处答案应该填gives。
10. and 空格前后是两个形容词happy和thankful，需要用连词and连接。
