The wife looked to her husband to answer. In a resigned tone of voice he told them how they managed to survive. “We have one cow. We sell her milk to our neighbors who do not live too far away. We hold back enough for our needs and to make some cheese and cream that is what we eat.”The next morning, the Brother and the Monk said their goodbyes and set out to continue their journey. After they had walked a few miles, the Monk turned to the Brother and said, “Go back and push the cow off the_cliff (悬崖)！” “Father，” the Brother replied, “they live_off the cow. Without her, they will have nothing.” The Monk repeated his order “go back and kill the cow.”With a heavy heart, the Brother returned to the small cottage. He worried about the future of the_family because he knew they depended_on the cow to survive. His promise of obedience bounded him to follow the orders of the wise Monk. He pushed the cow off the cliff.注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1：One day, the Brother, who had bee a Monk, found himself on the same road where he found acmodation years ago.
