3 . Bruno went into the kitchen and got the biggest surprise of his life. He could barely believe his eyes. “Shmuel!” he said. “What are you doing here in my kitchen?”
Shmuel looked up and his terrified face ______ a broad smile when he saw his friend standing there. “Bruno!” he said. “They asked me to polish the glasses. They said they needed someone with tiny ______.”
He held his hand out and Bruno noticed it was like the hand of the pretend skeleton. In reply, Bruno held his own hand out so that the tips of their middle fingers were almost touching. Bruno’s hand appeared ______ and full of life. The veins weren’t visible through the skin, the fingers weren’t little more than dying twigs. Shmuel’s hand, however, told a very ______ story.
“Shmuel! Here!” said Bruno, stepping forward and putting some slices of chicken in his friend’s hand. “Just eat them.” The boy stared at the food in his hand for a moment and looked up at Bruno with ______ but terrified eyes. He threw a ______ in the direction of the door and then thrust all the slices into his mouth ______ and gobbled them down in twenty seconds. “Thank you, Bruno.” said Shmuel, giving a faint smile.
Bruno smiled back and was about to offer him more food, but just at that moment Lieutenant Kotler reappeared. Bruno stared at him, feeling the ______ grow heavy, sensing Shmuel’s shoulders sinking down.
______ Bruno, Lieutenant Kotler marched over to Shmuel and glared at him. Shmuel looked up at Lieutenant Kotler, who frowned, ______ forward slightly and tilting his head as he examined the boy’s face. “You have been eating,” said Lieutenant Kotler. “Did you steal something from that fridge?” Shmuel looked toward Bruno, his eyes ______ for help.
“Answer me!” shouted Lieutenant Kotler.
“No, sir. He gave it to me,” said Shmuel, tears welling up in his eyes as he threw a sideways glance at Bruno. “He’s my friend,” he added.
“Do you know this boy, Bruno?” he asked in a loud voice.
Bruno’s mouth ______ open and he tried to remember the way you used your mouth if you wanted to say the word “yes”. He’d never seen anyone look so terrified as Shmuel did at that moment and he wanted to say the right thing to make things better, but then he realized that he couldn’t because he was feeling just as ______ himself.
“Tell me, Bruno!” shouted Kotler, his face growing red. “I won’t ask you a third time.”
“I’ve never seen him before in my life.” said Bruno immediately, “I don’t know him.”
Hearing that, Shmuel wasn’t crying any more, merely staring at the floor and looking as if he was trying to ______ his soul not to live inside tiny body any more, but to ______ away and sail to the door and rise up into the sky, gliding through the clouds until it was far away.
