It was a cool and windy day. Willie, Jim, Laura and
I were ___1___
our way to East Coast Park to fly a kite. On our way
___2___, Jim
___3___ something stuck to his shoe. "Must be a
___4___ of chewing gum or something," he
muttered as he ___5___ down to remove the object. What he removed
___6___
his shoe was a dirty fifty dollar ___7___ !
"Wow! What good luck! ___8___ go and celebrate with this
___9___," said Willie. "I happen to know a good
restaurant ___10___ we can go for a nice meal."
"All you can ___11___ of is food, Willie. No
___12___ you
need
to go on a diet," I said. "I think we should invest
the money ___13___ a few good books."
"You boys can ___14___ think of yourselves," Laura
chipped in. "I
imagine that the owner of this fifty dollar note
___15___ be anxiously searching
for it ___16___ over the place. So I suggest we look
around to see ___17___
we can find the owner."
For the next few minutes, the three of ___18___ agreed
about what we ___19___ do with the money.
"Er, there's something you guys ___20___ to know," Jim
interrupted suddenly.
We all turned to him. In ___21___ heat of our argument,
we had forgotten all ___22___ him. "What is it, Jim?" Laura asked
impatiently. Jim was the most quiet ___23___ of our
group.
"Well, ___24___ all of you were busy arguing, a big gust
of wind ___25___ the money out of my hand," Jim said. |
