UNIT 40
. pig stood on . mantelpiece next to . clock. He was made of . china, and underneath him was . little place to lock and unlock him, because he was . money-box.
One day Lucy went to see old Mrs. Loveday. She knocked at . door, but nobody said “Come in”. She turned . handle and . door opened. Mrs. Loveday was out. She was in . her garden. Lucy looked around . room with . red geraniums on . windowsill, . little rocking-chair by . fireplace, . small yellow stool — and, of course, . pig with green spots was on . mantelpiece, as usual. She sat down on . little yellow stool and looked at . clock. It had stopped. Lucy thought it would be . good idea to wind it up. She stood up and took down . clock. She wound it up carefully. She reached up to ___ mantelpiece to put it back — and then . dreadful thing happened. . pig fell on . floor and smashed into . hundred pieces. . money fell out of . pig too. . silver and copper coins rolled here and there, under . sofa, over . rug — all over . room. Lucy stood and stared in horror. What will Mrs. Loveday say? She had had him for such . long time on her mantelpiece!
. girl wanted to run away, but then she felt ashamed of herself. Mummy always said you must never run away from problems. At that moment Old Mrs. Loveday came into . room. She looked down at . broken pieces and all . money on . floor. Lucy waited to be scolded. But . old woman laughed happily. “So that ugly pig is broken at last, and I can get . money out of him. You know, I lost . key ages ago. But I’m glad to see such . ugly creature go, and to get my money. You have done me . good turn.”1 “Oh, I was so afraid to tell you . truth, Mrs. Loveday!”
“You see, I’m glad of . accident because I badly wanted some money today. . friend is coming to see me, and I want to buy . flour and . currants and . chocolate to bake . big cake for her. And you must certainly have . nice big slice to take home to tea, because you are not . coward, but . brave good girl!”

Gaps filled:
«Why would the wisps lead me here?»
«Just a humble woodcarver. I don’t understand. See anything you like?»
«Perhaps a touch of whimsy.»
«Oh, how about this conversation starter? It’s made of yew wood. Tough as stone.»
«That’s stuffed. You’re a witch!»
«I’m not a witch! Woodcarver! Woodcarver! That’s why the wisps led me here.»
«I can do everything. Half off is not all. Too many unsatisfied customers.»
«If you’re not going to buy anything, get out. No! I don’t care! Get out! Shoo! Get! Be gone with you!»
«But the will-o-the-wisps, they. Oh! This is one of a kind! I’ll make you a deal for this rare prize imbued with magical properties.»
«Your broom! It was sweeping by itself. That’s ridiculous. Wood cannot be to brighten any dank chamber.»
«Staring is rude.»
«Ooh! The crow’s talking! I should know. I’m a whittler. Of wood.»
