4b 完成句子
Henry was going through a very hard time. His wife had just died. He felt that life without her was meaningless. For several months, Henry stayed in his house, doing nothing. His family tried to encourage him to do new things and enjoy life, but they were not successful.
Henry’s neighbor, an old woman named Lisa, saw him from her yard one day. She hadn’t seen him outside for a long time! She asked him to come closer to the fence next to her house. “Hello, Henry. Just look at this fence. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help me fix this fence?” Lisa asked. Henry was angry inside. He was the one who needed help. He thought the old lady was being kind of rude. But she was too old to fix the fence herself, so he agreed. Henry worked on the fence for days. Lisa brought him lemonade while he was working. When he finished, she thanked him. Henry smiled for the first time in months.
“What a wonderful job! Could you please paint it for me?” Lisa said to him. Henry couldn’t believe she was asking for more help. Didn’t she know how sad he was? But because he respected her, he agreed. He worked hard at painting the fence in the hot sun, but Lisa’s lemonade and encouragement were helpful. As their neighbors passed by, they all told Henry what a beautiful job he had done. Henry felt very happy.
Thanks to his neighbors’ encouragement and praise, Henry no longer felt that life was meaningless. He finally realized that Lisa wasn’t being rude. Lisa knew that staying busy could help people forget their sadness. He helped her, but she truly saved him.
