　　“Didn’t you have a good day, dear?”his wife asked.
　　“　8　 do you think?”he answered angrily and pointed 　9　 the bag on the table .“ Look at the bag! There’s only one bird in it and 　10　 me a lot of money!”“Weren’t there any birds?”she asked kindly.

　　“What happened, dear?”she asked.
　　“I shot my first bird at five o’clock 　14　 afternoon. Soon afterwards, I aimed at 　15　 one and 　16　, but I don’t know what happened. I think I slipped because I didn’t shoot the bird. I 　17　 a cow and killed it. The farmer 　18　owned it got very angry with me. I argued with him for hours and 19 theend I had to 　20　 him 50 pounds!”
