(一对夫妇), and together with their kids, we worked hard for this kind project.
Most of our goods were sold at low prices. However, a hand-painted vase was marked as 4. (昂贵的), for it was created by a talented local artist. A young student asked if there was any 5. (例外) for teenagers, and we kindly offered her a small discount. At last, we raised more than two hundred 6. (美元) in total. Every single 7. (一分钱硬币) we collected was used to help the homeless animals.
When a reporter interviewed us and asked whether we felt tired, we all replied “8. (当然) not!” Helping others brought us great joy. The money would provide food and medicine for the poor animals. We believed our little kindness was like a strong 9. (链子) that connected our neighborhood with the animals in need. It was truly an unforgettable and rewarding day for all of us.
