It was a lovely spring afternoon. My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I let out a cry, "Ow! Ow! Something in my shoe is biting me. "
Everyone was shocked by the cry. They took me into the classroom and were about to 1 my shoes. "Which foot is it? "a classmate asked. "Let us have a look. "
Suddenly, I remembered the 2 in my socks. My family was very 3 during those years. I wore welfare(福利的)socks, which cost only a little, but those 4 welfare socks didn't last long. They soon had holes at the bottom.
I refused to take off my shoes. I couldn't 5 others seeing the holes in my socks. I tried to hold back my tears. But each time the thing in my shoe bit me, tears raced 6 my face.
My teacher, Miss Diane, hurried into the 7 . "What's wrong? " she asked. "Something is biting her right foot, 8 she doesn't let us take off her shoe, "one of my classmates answered.
Miss Diane lived next door to me. She knew 9 about my family. She put both hands on my shaking shoulders and 10 into my painful and hopeless eyes. "Oh, yes, it must be a sock-eating ant, "she said, as if she 11 saw the thing inside the shoe. "I had a bite from one of those ants and it 12 almost the whole bottom of my sock. "My classmates nodded(点头)while they were 13 the teacher carefully, although they looked a little puzzled.
Miss Diane took off my right shoe and sock and shook 14 over the dustbin. Two red ants fell into it. "Just as I thought, the ants have eaten part of her sock, "she said. "You are such a 15 girl to take so many bites. "
Thanks to Miss Diane, a little girl's pride was saved by the "sock-eating ant" story.
