Rebecca stretched her tired back. “That’s the last seedling(种树苗), Pa. Have we planted enough?” Pa walked to the end of the row of cottonwood seedlings. “No,” he said. “We have to plant trees all the way to that rock over there. We’ll need about twenty more seedlings.”
“I’ll get the seedlings,” offered Rebecca. She longed to cool her feet in the shallow river running through the cotton field. “You’d better let me go,” teased her twin brother, William. “There are dangers all over this prairie(牧场). “You may both go,” said Pa.
They went across the shallow river to a sandbar where small cottonwood seedlings grew. Gently, they pulled the seedlings from the sand. “There! That’s twenty, with a few to spare.” said Rebecca. “OK,” said William. He led the way to the riverbank, then stopped.
“Look! There’s the dugout(防空壕)we lived in when we moved here last year.” He pointed to a hole in the grassy river bank. “Come on, let’s go inside.” “No,” Rebecca said. “Then you start back.” said William, handing the seedlings to Rebecca. I’ll catch up.” He ran to the dugout and stepped inside.
Rebecca tied the seedlings into her long apron(围裙)and began to walk. Suddenly she froze in her tracks. A huge prairie rattlesnake(响尾蛇)moved along the river bank. It stopped right in front of the dugout and lay still, coiled up on the warm sunny bank. “William!” Rebecca shouted. “Don’t come out!”
“Huh?” William's face appeared at a tiny window beside the door of the dugout. Rebecca pointed toward the rattler. William's face paled when he saw the snake blocking the doorway. He turned desperate eyes toward Rebecca, then he glanced behind himself.
Rebecca’s mind raced, trying to think of a way to get William out of there. An idea popped into her head. It was their only hope. It was risky, but it was the only hope. “Don’t move,” she said to William in a soft voice. “When I say NOW, you run out of there as fast as you can.” Rebecca removed the skirt-like petticoat(衬裙)from beneath her dress, then dipped it into the river. She squeezed out some of the water, then climbed to the top of the bank, directly above the dugout’s opening.
Paragraph 1:
"Get ready to run, William,” she said, keeping an eye on the motionless snake.

Paragraph 1:
"Get ready to run, William, " she said, keeping an eye on the motionless snake. Rebecca opened the dripping petticoat(wet through with water)as much as she could. Her hands shook as she leaned over the bank. With one swift movement, she dropped the heavy garment on top of the rattlesnake. "NOW!" she shouted to William as the snake began to move under the petticoat. William jumped over the covered snake and ran fast before he stopped and turned around. Rebecca was right behind him.
Paragraph 2:
"Are you OK?" he asked, breathing heavily. Rebecca nodded. She was glad they managed to escape. It took them five minutes to catch their breath and calm themselves down. Rebecca checked to make sure that the seedlings were still complete. Then William gave Rebecca a grateful hug. "Thanks, sister. I'd have done the same for you back there." Rebecca said with a grin. "You couldn't have, for you don't wear petticoats!" Laughing, they raced back to the woods.
