“That man next door,”my father shouted angrily.“His1got into my garden again last night. Clearly he doesn't want to stop them,so I have to build a fence.Will you help me2it,Beth?”I've always liked helping him,but this fence idea didn't sound good to me.
“Couldn't we just talk to Mr.Wilkin about3rabbits?”Ireplied.“It's been one thing or another with that man since we moved here,and now it's these rabbits.A fence is the best solution(解决办法).”Then he went out,but I didn't follow him.Instead,I decided to talk with Mr.Wilkin first.Mr.Wilkin was4outside with a white rabbit on his leg.
“Hello,I'm Beth,I live next door.”“Oh,yes.”Mr.Wilkin replied.“Come to meet my rabbit.Would you like to hold it?”Mr. Wilkin5“Sure,”I replied,I held it against my chest, feeling its heart beating next to mine.“It seems that your father is starting a new6”Mr.Wilkin said.“Yes,he's building a fence to stop your rabbits getting into his garden.”“Oh,I'm7about that.”Mr.Wilkin apologized(道歉).“I try so hard to keep them in at night.But the rabbits8to get out,I can't run after them with my weak legs.”
“I don't want my dad to build the fence,”I said.“Putting up a fence is like building a border(边界)to separate us from everybody.”
Then suddenly an idea hit me.We could build a rabbit cage between the yards.I said goodbye to Mr.Wilkin,thinking about how gueat it would be to have no borders separating us from our9I hope we would10have a border.
