As he was ready to 39 away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said. “Uh, sir, I’m selling these magazines and I was 40 if you’d like to buy one.” The old man 41 stared at the boy. The boy could see the inside of the house and 42 some dog figurines（小雕像）. “Do you 43 dogs?” the boy asked. “Yes, I do.
