When Charley got up one morning, he saw the ground deeply covered with snow.

“We must have a path through this ________ ” said his father. “I would make one if I had time. But I must be at the office ________ this morning.” “Do you think you could make the path, my son?” he asked little Charley.

“I? Why, the snow is too ________ !’

“You can try doing it little by little,” said the father, as he ________ for his office.

So Charley got the snow shovel (铁铲) and set to work. But it was ________ work. He got tired.

“I don’t think I can do it, mother,” he said. “A shovelful (满铲) is so ________ , and there is such a heap (堆) of snow.”

“Little by little, Charley,” said his mother. “That snow fell in tiny bits, flake by flake, but you see what a great ________ it has made.”

“Yes, mother, I see,” said Charley. “If I ________ it away little by little, it will soon be gone.”

So he worked on.

When his father came home to dinner, he was ________ to see the fine path.

The next day he gave little Charley a fine blue sled (雪橇), and on it was ________ in yellow letters, “Little by Little.”
