Here is a wonderful story about Jimmy Durante, who was a great 43 (sing). Asked to be a part of a show for some old soldiers, he told them he was very busy and he could afford only 44 few minutes, but he would come if they wouldn’t mind his singing one short song and immediately 45 (leave) for his next appointment. The show’s director agreed 46 (happy).
However, when Jimmy got on stage, something surprising happened. He went through the short song and then stayed. The applause grew 47 (loud) and louder and he kept staying. One of 48 (he) assistants behind the stage stopped him and said, “I thought you had to go. What happened?”
Jimmy answered, “I did have to go, 49 I can show you the reason why I stayed. You can see for yourself if you look at the front row.” In the front row 50 (be) two men, both of 51 had lost an arm in the war. One had lost his right arm and the other had lost his left. Together, they were able 52 (clap), and that was exactly what they were doing, loudly and cheerfully.
