Years ago while lying in my hammock (吊床) and drinking JB from the bottle, I    21    my dog dragging something under the fence.    22     looking at it carefully, to my    23     , I realized it was the next-door neighbor’s 10-year-old daughter’s rabbit. For years I      24    her come home from school and     25     straight out to its cage,    26    it and play with it in the yard. I know today    27    be no different.     28     for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit died and was quite dirty, as if it had    29    quite a struggle, so I washed it off with the plastic   30   , combed it with the dog brush and blew it    31    with the leaf blower (吹风机) . Upon finishing its grooming (刷洗), I jumped the       32        and put it back in its cage hoping its      33       would be accepted as “ natural causes”.
    34     to the hammock and JB. Within the hour the neighbor’s car    35    as usual and out came the little girl,     36     as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time did she stop about six feet away and    37    “ D-A-D-D-Y-!!”
Her father,    38  , stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor, I rushed to the fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father   39     than calmly shouted, “What kind of    40     person would dig up a little girl’s dead rabbit and put it back in its cage?”
