One day, Henry’s neighbor, Lisa, saw him from her yard. She hadn’t seen him outside for several days! She wanted to help Henry. Then she had an idea.
Lisa said to Henry, “Hello, Henry! Just look at this fence (篱笆) between our houses. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help fix this fence?”

In China, children like to make promises by hooking pinkies with each other. They say, “A pinkie promise must be ___ for 100 years.” Then they may press their thumbs together to complete the promise. Sometimes, __ will hook pinkies and promise to be together forever.
There are many theories(推测) on the origin of the pinkie promise. Some say it comes from a nursery rhyme. __ say it was introduced from the West – born out of a love story where a man and a woman hooked fingers.
One theory is that it may have ___ to do with the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character for “finger” also means “aim(旨)” (referring to people’s thoughts). So hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of ___.
Therefore, the fingers play a(n) ____ role in making an oath(盟约): They can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut for making a blood oath. When someone swears to heaven, he uses his ____ to point to the sky.
____, hooking fingers means making a serious promise. In some movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his little finger cut ____!
