Our neighbour,the river
One bad winter we watched the river creep up the lower meadows. All the cattle had been moved into stalls and we stood to lose little. (1)_______________________. As the floods had put the telephone out of order, we could not find out how they were managing. From an attic window we could get a sweeping view of the river where their land joined ours, and at the most critical juncture we took turns in watching that point. The first sign of disaster was a dead sheep floating down. (2)_______________________. Suddenly a raft appeared, looking rather like Noah's ark, carrying the whole family, a few hens, the dogs, a cat, and a bird in a cage. We realized that they must have become unduly frightened by the rising flood, for their house, which had sound foundations, would have stood stoutly even if it had been almost submerged. (3)_______________________. We still think it a miracle that they we able to do so.
