Mrs. Green opened the door so hard that the door almost broke. Then she looked 　26 the window and saw her neighbor, an old lady, crossing the yard. “She is in my 　27 again. Those are my strawberries, not　　 28 . Maybe I should call the police.”

Her friend, Alice, was sitting at the table 　29 a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.

“Of course,” Mrs. Green answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your garden　 30 your permission(允許) and picked your strawberries?”

“I would say, it’s better than the bees.” Alice answered.

“The bees don’t take my strawberries, but the 　31 does,” said Mrs. Green.

Alice said, “That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and she 　32 picks some bad ones. Why 　33 you pick some of your good strawberries and give 　34 to her?”

“Are you crazy?”

“I don’t think so. Don’t you remember what happened when you were 　35 in hospital last year? She went to see you with some chicken soup. If you give her the strawberries, you can tell her that you still 　36　 that.”

Mrs. Green felt very guilty (內(nèi)疚). She was so 　37 that she almost forgot what the old lady had done for her. Then she picked a basket of good 　38 and went to see her 　39 . Through the window, Alice could see that the anger（憤怒）on Mrs. Green’s face changed into(變成) a big 　40 .
