One day Reuben, my eldest son, came home with ア（ friend, he, a, from, puppy, got,
his ）. The dog, a female, had only three legs: two fully developed hind legs and a
deformed left front leg. When she looked straight up into my eyes, I イ(know) that I had
to help her.
I took the dog to an animal hospital with my children, and asked the animal doctor for
help. The doctor said that even attaching a wheelchair to the front legs would not work,
①since ウ( it, too, turn around, difficult, would, for, be, her, to). The doctor advised us
( ② ) put her down. When I asked the doctor about another way to help her, she
( エ ) considered the question.
The doctor gave us ③one idea. It was to get the puppy to stand on her hind legs and
lead her ( ④ ) walk like a human being. There were no cases of anyone ( オ )
getting a dog to walk that way. Still all my children said they would try to train the
puppy to do ⑤it. When I said it would be ( カ ) hard, Laura, my eldest daughter,
said, “I know that. We have to believe she will be able to walk. We need to have faith.”
At my daughter’s suggestion, ⑥we named the puppy Faith to give her hope and
determination.
There were a lot of difficulties, but we continued Faith’s training-with faith-day after
day, we put her on a skateboard キ(feel,she, so, movement, that, could). We also tempted
her to stand up and jump by holding a spoonful of peanut butter in front of her so she
could try to lick it. One day, I had a new idea.
My children and I went out and put Faith in the snow ⑦by herself and ク(できるだけ
幸せに一緒に遊び始めた:8 語). I thought that she would hate to be alone and that she
might come over to the children. We played and waited.
It was a long, hard wait, ケ(彼女のためだけでなく、私たちのためでもあった:8 語).Then,
( コ ), she looked straight at us and stood up on her hind legs. Then she took a
step towards us. It was just a small step, but it was the first step of great faith.
After training for several months, she learned to balance on her hind legs and to walk
( ⑧ ) any help. She could now walk like a human being.
Faith was soon famous. Shereceived a lot of requests to appear on local TV news shows,
and ⑨she came to have a dramatic influence on people.
Caroline, a New Yorker who was confined to a wheelchair because of diabetes, lost the
will to live. She was in despair and サ(want) to die.
One day, ( ⑩ ) her way to a shop, just ( ⑪ ) chance Caroline saw Faith on the
sidewalk. Faith was in New York for a TV program.

2. Caroline heard of Faith before and wheeled toward her. Caroline looked at Faith and
said,” Thank you for シ(come) to New York. ⑫I was in despair and no longer wanted to
live, but now I feel inspired to live my life”.
More and more people come to know that Faith heals wounded hearts. Also, her many
visits to hospitals and welfare facilities inspire everyone.
