Mrs. Brown had a small garden behind her house, and in the spring she     1     some vegetables in it. She looked after them very     2    , and when the summer came, they looked very nice. One evening Mrs. Brown looked at her     3     and said to her son, “Tomorrow we are going to pick them.”

But early the next morning, her son ran into the kitchen and     4    , “Mother! Come quickly! Our neighbor’s     5     are in the garden and they are     6     our vegetables!”

Mrs. Brown ran out, but it was too     7    ! All the vegetables were finished! Her neighbor was very     8    , but that was the end of the vegetables.

Then a few days     9     Christmas, the neighbor brought Mrs. Brown a large box. In it was a beautiful, fat duck, and on it was a piece of paper with the     10    , “Enjoy your vegetables!”
