However, she did not. She_________ asked him “Breton, what were you trying to do?”
“I was trying to help you_________the dishes, Mum,” he replied loudly. Sure enough, she_________a pile of dishes that had been washed on the kitchen table.
“Well son, why did you use the water from the fridge?” she further asked. Breton_________that he couldn’t reach the sink (洗涤槽). My wife began to_________the situation better and her______________disappeared. “What do you think you can do next time to make less of a mess?”
