Question

Some time ago one of my chairs had a broken leg. I _________ think there would be any difficulty ______ getting it fixed, as there were a lot of furniture shops near my home. So I left home one morning with the chair. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). But I was quite wrong. The man didn’t even look at my chair.

In the _________ shop though, the situation was just the same, and in the third and in the fourth.

I entered ________ shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the ________ ,“Would you like to buy the chair ?” He ________ it carefully and said,“Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty dollars, ”I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty dollars,” I said. “Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing.”

________ was doing according to my plan. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will

be easy to _______ after the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, but I’ve changed my mind.” “You ______ be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny drooped. “I know what you want,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money _______ with too much trouble. But I’ll fix this for you.”
