The first time Hank, a two-year-old-cat, went out of his yard, he got stuck in a 60-feet-tall tree for five days, with no food or water.
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 mew of a cat, 3, and saw Hank on her neighbor's tree. He must have climbed onto the tree while some dogs were running after 4, and became too afraid to climb down.
Delores, now very 5 called the fireman immediately. But it was not easy, as they didn't have a ladder（梯子） tall enough to 6 the cat. She asked a tree company for help them. 7, they failed for safety reasons.
The poor owner could do nothing but sit 8 the tree and call to Hank. A kind neighbor offered her some cat food. 9 it would make the hungry cat come down. Nearby dog owners took their pets for 10 instead of letting them out in their yards, so that Hank would not climb even 11 with fear.
Nothing had worked until it come to day five. 12 Lydia, another neighbor, talked of a clever way of getting the cat down from a tree. Delores decided to 13 it at once. Together, they produced a system of pulley（滑轮） and lifted a 14 with some of Hank's favorite things up to him. To their excitement, Hank jumped into it.
Delores was really thankful. "I feel good living in such a 15 neighborhood. It gave me hope when Hank was in trouble." She said.
