It was getting dark when I got home. It was cold and I     1    (wear) a coat. I walked up to the door and put my hand into my pocket     2    (take) out my key     3     I couldn’t find it. I suddenly remembered that I     4    (leave) it on my desk in the office. It really didn’t make any difference. I knew my wife     5    (be) at home and the children must have come back from school by now, so I     6    (knock) at the door.

There was no answer, so I knocked again. I continued knocking at the door for some time. I     7    (get) angry. Then I remembered something the office boy had told me at noon. He said that my wife     8     (phone) saying that she     9    (go) shopping in the afternoon with the children.

There was only one thing for me to do: I had to clime in    10     a window.
