His classmates were 6 (surprising) at his picture. Some children guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise (饲养) turkeys. 7 (Other) guessed it was the hand of God, for God 8 (feed) us.

The teacher asked him which hand it was. The little boy said in a low voice, “It’s 9 (your).”

Tears came into the teacher’s12 (eye).
