One Friday, ten-year-old Janet, was going to stay all 42 with his friend Amy. They had to walk by Dowson’s house on the way to Amy’s house. But when they got to Dowson’s house, Janet 43 him sitting in the front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of street 44 most of the children, she was afraid of the old man because of the stories she had heard about him.

Amy told Janet not to 45 . Mr. Dowson would not hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with 46 step close to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dowson looked up with his 47 frown（皱眉）, but when he saw it was Amy, he suddenly 48 and said, “Hello, Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy explained, at first he wasn’t very 51 and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible（看不见的）smile and so she 52 smiled back at him. It took a long time, one day he half-smiled back at her.
