One day last November, when Delores, the 1 , returned from a market, she found Hank didn't come in for his lunch. As it got 2 , she began to look for him around the house. Then she heard the meow of a cat, looked 3 and saw Hank in her neighbor's tree. He must have climbed onto the tree while some dogs were running after him and became too 4 to climb down.
Delores, now very 5 , called the firemen immediately. But it was not easy, for they didn't have a ladder tall enough to 6 the cat. She asked a tree company for help, again they 7 for safety reasons.
The poor owner could do 8 but sit under the tree and call to Hank. A kind neighbor 9 her some cat food, expecting it would make the hungry cat come down. Nearby dog owners took their pets for walks instead of letting them out in their yards so that Hank would not climb even 10 with fear.
Nothing had 11 until it came to day five. Luckily, Lydia, another neighbor, 12 a clever way of getting the cat down from a tree. Delores decided to give it a 13 at once. Together, they produced a system of pulleys（滑轮）and 14 a basket with some of Hank's favorite things up to him. To their 15 , Hank jumped into it.
Delores was really thankful. "I feel good living in such a friendly neighborhood. It gave me hope when Hank was in trouble," she said.
