Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. The couple worked and saved, making p     for their nine children and themselves to travel to the USA. It had taken years before they saved enough money and got everything r        for the trip.
The whole family was excited about their new life. However, seven days b________       they left for the USA, the youngest son was bitten by a dog. The doctor treated the boy, b____      because there was a possibility of rabies（狂犬病）, they would be kept away from others for fourteen days.
The family’s dream could not come t   __   . They would not be able to make the trip to America as they had planned. Watching the ship leave---without the Clark family, the father was quite a      with both his son and God for their bad luck.
Five days later, a piece of sad news s   __   throughout Scotland---the strong and powerful ship, Titanic, had gone down, taking h        of lives with it. The Clark family was to have been on that ship, but because the son was bitten by a dog, they were left b_____        in Scotland.
When Mr Clark heard the news, he thanked his son for saving the family. He thanked the God for t       a sad thing into a good one.
Although we may not always understand, all things happen for a reason.
