第二节阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After spending Thanksgiving on Uncle Howard's farm, he gave us two turkey eggs. My younger brother Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped his egg on the way home. Dad put the eggs under an old hen in our backyard. Every day Chris and I would check to see if they'd hatched yet. 26 days later, two little creatures waddled (摇摇摆摆地走) behind the hen. As they got older, one was dead. We named the other Timothy.
Timothy liked to wander in the woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant. One day, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. "I want you to start giving him corn along with his regular feed, " he said. "We want a nice fat bird for Thanksgiving. " After Dad walked away, Chris's face began to pucker, just as he did before he started to cry.
"Don't worry, Chris, " I said comfortingly. "We'll save Timothy, somehow. "
"Why don't we give him away?" Chris suggested.
"No. " I said. "If we do, he'll just end up on someone else's Thanksgiving table. " Suddenly I had an idea. "Hey, Chris, you know that small cave in the woods?" Chris nodded. "We can take Timothy there. We'll cover the entrance with a wire net and hide him till Thanksgiving is over. " "Yeah!" We were so excited that we gave each other high-fives. We took Timothy out of his cage and left him in the cave with water and plenty of food. We piled branches over the opening to hide the entrance.
One day Dad sent us out to look for him. Both of us felt guilty but we wanted to save Timothy's life, so we kept quiet. Finally, Dad decided that a fox must have gotten him. That year Uncle Howard provided a turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner. The next day a big snowstorm hit. It was days before we could get out and see Timothy. When we got to the cave, we saw something had happened.

The wire net was pulled away from the entrance, and Timothy was gone.
