One morning, when I was on my way to school, Papa c1 me and took me up the river in a boat. We found an old log cabin in the woods and this became my new home. Papa kept me with him all the t2 so I didn't have a chance to escape. But I didn't m3 staying in the woods because we went hunting and fishing every day and I enjoyed that. Sometimes he left me in the cabin, l4 the door and went to the town to buy provisions. When he came home two or three days l5, he always beat me with his stick. Then I got t6 of the beatings and I began to think about getting away.
Once before going to the town, he gave me his gun. "If a7 tries to get into the cabin, use it!" he said. That gave me an idea. I went into the woods to kill a pig and took it b8 to the cabin. I let its blood fall on the floor. I pulled out some of my hair, m9 it with the pig's blood and put it on an axe. F10, I put the pig's body into a sack and dragged it to the river and threw it in.
I was very proud of my plan! "Papa will think that someone has killed me when he sees the blood and the axe. He won't look for me," I thought and smiled to myself.

In the morning, you are woken up by the singing of the birds outside. At n1, you fall asleep while listening to beautiful music. You can enjoy all of these things because of one important organ—ears. National Ear Care Day is on March 3rd. It helps us remember the i2 of our ears and encourages us to take good care of them. You may wonder how do ears w3? The ear has three different parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects the sound around you. The s4 then travels down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.
Your ears never stop working, even w5 you are asleep! That's why you may sometimes wake up suddenly in the middle of the night—your brain h6 something, but you don't know what it is, since you are asleep.
But ears do more than hear. They help you keep your balance, too. In the inner ear, there are organs that are filled w7 liquid and covered in small hair. When you move your head, the liquid and hair move, too. They send m8 to your brain about the position of your head.
More surprisingly, ears even help in eating food. If there is something w9 with your ears, you may have a hard time telling different tastes, according to the website of People's Daily.
The ear is such an important organ. Everyone should make sure to p10 their own ears as well as they can.
