The hurricane ripped (撕) through my house every Sunday morning before church. The cupboard was 21 apart every time my family were going to a nice dinner, or she had an 22 business meeting. I thought she would stop looking for it when we moved houses, which 23 didn’t happen. And now, fifteen years later, my mother still 24 the obligatory (习惯*的) search before every holiday. And my father, as he always did, will help her.
The 25 of this search: a pale pink Hermes scarf. She bought it on her first trip t
o New York 
City; it was her first extravagance (奢侈品).
It’s been missing all these years, 26 a few weeks ago during a memory exercise in my writing class, I solved the mystery of the missing scarf. It 27 me as I shared a story about my first pet: my hamster (仓鼠), Pooky.
Th
e scarf has a beautiful color of pink, 28 as a feather, and so soft to touch that when I brought home Pooky for the first time, it was the 29 thing where I could hold the poor thing to keep him from 30 . Pooky became unusually 31 to the scarf after that. So 32 that when my mother went to another city for her weekly business meetings, I put the scarf onto the bed in Pooky’s cage to keep him 33 and warm. Pooky didn’t last long. 34 , by the time Mom came home three days later, Pooky was dead and buried.
I was recalling this 35 when something struck me. Suddenly, I had a 36 picture of my dad sitting down next to me where I lay next to Pooky’s body, crying. I remembered Dad looking at me, with my eyes all red 37 crying, and then at the scarf, before he 38 and lifted Pooky and the 39 into the shoe box. We buried Pooky in the ground with such an expensive scarf!
My dad knew 40 where the scarf was, and he had never told. He just didn’t want to hurt either his wife or his son.
