“Well,” said the farmer, _________ he rubbed (擦拭) the sweat off the back of his neck, “These puppies come from fine parents and _________ a good deal of money.”
The boy _________ his head for a moment. Then _________ deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of _________ and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”
“_________,” said the farmer.

“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the little pup.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will __________ be able to run and play with you like those other dogs would.”
Hearing that, the little boy stepped back from the fence, bend down and began __________ up one leg of his trousers.
