阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整故事。

In 1963, at age 65, my grandfather, Erwin, decided to work on acrazy project: He wanted to build a new house. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house. It seemed a waste to destroy it, but something had to give,since it sat where the new house would be. At last, he hired a powerful vehicle to push the old house far out into a forest.

After my grandfather passed away, I purchased a near farm. When we first moved in, we asked friends to a party. They took one look at the old house and all suggested pulling it down. I agreed. Days later, I was prepared to carry out the project. But I considered it sensible to check out the old house first, just in case something of value had been left behind.

My two young sons followed, and we walked through the tall grass in the field where the old house sat. Time had caused a lot of damage to it. The front porch had fallen down and most of the windows were gone. The kids were amazed that nine people once occupied the tiny structure, and that they did so without running water or electricity. We entered through an open window.

I felt as though I had discovered a time spaceship unexpectedly.Here lay various witness to my grandparents’ lives. A broken chair, some old clothes, large bags used for grain, a cookstove and a cardboard box full of canceled checks and greeting cards. But a pile of papers on the floor drew my eye. An envelope, yellowed with age, lay on top. A blue stamp on the envelope read “Passed by Naval Censor”. I knew it was from my father. He had served in the navy and written home whenever he could. My grandmother saved all of his letters. Father passed away due to a massive heart attack two years ago. The entire family was sad about his passing, none more than me. I’ve been missing him badly.

参考答案
Paragraph 1:

How could I havemissed this treasure?I took the letter carefully out of its envelope. It was dated September 1944. My father would have been somewhere on a different kind of sea. I studies the familiar scrawl. He wondered how the grain harvest had been and how his uncle’s new team of horses was working. He supposed that his youngest brother was starting first grade and imagined that he was becoming quite the little man. He asked his mother to greet everyone.

Paragraph 2:

At the bottom,there were words in underlined print: “Can’t wait to be back home.”Tears welled up in my eyes as I read those words he had so carefully emphasized. I could sense between the lines that the young man missed his home and family so much. This tiny structure was the most precious place for my father. As I leftthe old house that day, I took one last glance back at it over my shoulder. Idon’t care what anyone thinks, I decided. That old house gets to stay thereuntil it rots into the earth.

【写作提示】作者意外发现老房子中父亲的一封信，使作者思念起了父亲。从Paragraph 2的开头提示得知，paragraph 1应该围绕信中的内容展开，并且信的内容应该是表达父亲对家人和家的想念。Paragraph 2应该是作者读完信以后，表示对父亲的思念，可围绕亲情以及作者的心理活动展开。
