Question

If you were in trouble, what would you do? Would you wait, ask for help or solve it by yourself? Here is a story about this topic. Once, a terrible flood destroyed the whole village. A man in front of a house was surrounded (被包围) by the flood.       he was not very scared because he always believed in God. He thought God must come there to save him for his        . At that moment, a big wooden board came. If he caught it, the board       him to become safe, but the man kept       for God. He didn’t take a look at it at all. Then a small boat passed by, but the man still kept waiting and did nothing. Soon the boat was gone, too. The water was deeper and deeper, and the house was going to be broken. The two people in the boat were       him and shouted to him, “Come down and go with us!” But the        man stayed there and kept waiting for God.

You can guess the result easily. The man died at last. When he saw God in heaven, he complained to God, “      didn’t you save me?” God said he had       save him. The big wooden board, the small boat, and the two men were all the helpers he had sent to help him, but the man       them. From this we can see that God helps those people who help       .
