阅读下面短文，从文后各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
I was visiting my grandpa's farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans(山核桃).
Plunk! I dropped another pecan into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up, but my basket remained full. Whew! Pecan picking was hard but I wasn't about to let Grandpa down, so I kept working.
Suddenly, something my eye: a squirrel picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, it returned for another pecan and took it back to his secret hiding place the hollow(洞) of the tree.
Not so secret any more, I thought. I ran over to the tree and the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. This was my . Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full!
I was so of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I'd collected.
"Look, Grandpa," I , "look at all of the pecans I found!" Grandpa took a look at my basket. "Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy?" I told him I'd followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on something about the squirrel's habits. But then he handed the basket back to me and put his arm around my shoulders.
"That squirrel worked very hard to collect his food," he said. "Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will be very when it gets cold?"
"I didn't think about that," I said.
"I know," Grandpa said. "But true is respecting others' hard work, even the squirrel's."
The image(形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn't my mind. There was only one thing I could do.
