When I was young, my family lived a hard life in the country. As you can i 1 , many country roads were difficult to walk on. One evening we were visiting some relatives and the weather was very bad. It began to rain on our way back home. Dad c 2 me on his back. Mum gave her coat to my brother. We walked together in the r 3 for more than an hour.
I was fat at that time and Dad must be t 4 to hold me for such a long time. He almost fell down many times. I tried to get down and walk myself, but I achieved nothing since I was just a little kid.
When we arrived home, the inside of our house was c 5 with rainwater. The rain had come t 6 the broken roof(屋顶) and water was everywhere. Mum put bowls all a 7 the house to collect the rain. Then she put my brother and me to the dry place on the bed. I fell asleep soon. When I opened my eyes, I found Dad and Mum were sleeping in chairs, both having caught a s 8 cold.
It happened more than twenty years a 9 . And now I'm a mother too. I can remember neither the b 10 nor the end, but whenever I think of it, tears run down my face from my eyes because I fully understand what the parents' love means.
