I like all kinds of chocolate, especially bitter chocolate. So when Mother had bought one, I couldn’t help thinking about   36  .

I was helping Father in the yard when suddenly I got an idea. I could cut a piece   37 that chocolate without anyone knowing it.

I waited   38   Mother went outside feeding the chickens. Then I told Father I wanted to go for a drink of water. I went into the room and got the   39   down. Just when I had the knife ready to cut, I heard Mother coming. So I had to put the chocolate   40   into my shirt,

went to my mom and   41   the chocolate there. And then I went back to   42   Father.

All the rest of the afternoon, I didn’t dare to look at Father. Every time he spoke, it made me jump. My hands began shaking and my heart started   43   fast. I didn’t want the chocolate any more. I   44   wanted to get a chance to put it back.
