John, Rich, and I loved living 1 the farm in New Jersey. It's a wonderful place to run, play and 2 from each other. Dad grew 3 vegetables that Mom only needed to buy milk and some meat. But then the 4 thing happened.
Dad became ill and could 5 farm the land (土地) any more. Mom didn't know what to do, 6 she decided to rent (出租) some land to another local farmer. Mom used the 7 from the land rent 8 us food and clothes.
After several months, Dad died (死), but we still 9 to keep everything going well. Our uncle from a nearby town came and 10 us plant the vegetables. He sold (卖) the vegetables for us to get more money.
The small town of Oak Hill was looking for a place to build a community 11 . They asked Mom if she was ready to sell the land to them. Mom told us that she was going to sell the land to the town. We didn't get a lot of money. Anyway, we moved near our uncle into a (n) 12 house that Mom could buy.
Two months later, the town of Oak Hill told Mom that they were going to name the park after our dad. What an honor (荣耀)! We now go to the park and see Dad's 13 each time we enter the gate of the park. The park has a baseball field, a pool and a nature trail (观景小径). 14 wonderful park, but the 15 part is that we get to visit Dad every time we go there!
