II. FILL IN WITH SIMPLE PAST FORM OF THE VERB:
NOISES IN THE NIGHT
It _________ (be) about two o’clock in the morning, and … suddenly I __________ (wake) up. I _________ (hear) a noise. I ________ (get) out of bed and __________(go) slowly downstairs. There ____________ (be) a light on in the living room. I _____________ (listen) carefully. I could hear two men speaking very quietly. ‘Burglars!’ I ___________ (think). ‘Two burglars!’ Immediately I _________ (run) back upstairs and ________(phone) the police. I _________(be) really frightened. Fortunately the police ____________(arrive) quickly. They _______________(open) the front door and __________(go) into the living room. Then they _____________(come) upstairs to find me. ‘It’s all right now, sir,’ they _____________(explain). ‘We _______________(turn) the television off for you!’

One dollar and eighty–seven cents. That __________(be) all. Della carefully ______________(count) the money again. There __________(be) no mistake. Every day, when she ________(go) to the shops, she didn't spend much money. She ____________(buy) the cheapest meat and the cheapest vegetables. It ________(be) very tiring — she ___________(walk) for hours around the shops to find the cheapest food. She ___________(save) every cent possible. Only one dollar and eighty–seven cents. The next day was Christmas, and she couldn't do anything about it. So she __________ (sit) there in her little room and __________(cry) quietly.
Della _____________(live) in this poor little room in New York with her husband, James Dillingham Young. James (Jim to his friends) _________(be) lucky because he _________(have) a job, but it wasn't a good job. Times _________(be) bad and there was no work for Della. But when Jim ___________(come) home, she immediately __________(put) her arms around him. And that __________(be) good. Della ______________(want) to buy him a Christmas present — something really good to show how much she ___________(love) him. Suddenly she __________(run) to the mirror and __________(look) at her beautiful long hair. Then she _________(put) on her old brown hat and coat and quickly _________(go) into town.

She ______________(stop) when she ____________(come) to a door with 'Madame Eloise — Hair' on it. Inside ____( be) a small fat woman. 'Do you buy hair?' Della ________(ask). 'I buy hair', Madame __________(answer). 'Take your hat off, then, and show me your hair.' Madame slowly ______________(touch) the hair with her hand. 'Twenty dollars', she ________(say) . 'Quick! Cut it off! Give me the money!' Della _________(say). The next two hours ________(go) quickly. Della ________(be) happy, because she _______(be) at the shops with money for a present for Jim. At last she ________(find) him the perfect present. Jim ________(have) one special thing. He ________(have) a beautiful gold watch that once _____________(belong) to his father, and before that to his grandfather. Jim __________(love) his watch, but it _________(have) no chain. When Della __________(see) the gold watch chain, she _________(know) immediately that it ________(be) right for Jim. It ________(cost) twenty–one dollars. Della ________(run) home excitedly with the eighty–seven cents. When she __________(arrive), she _________(look) at her very short hair in the mirror. 'Oh dear. I look like a schoolboy! What is Jim going to say when he sees me?' At seven o'clock Jim ___________(come) in. His eyes _________(be) on Della. She could not understand the look on his face. He _________(be) not angry or surprised. He just ___________(look) at her sadly. Della ________(run) to him. 'Jim, don't look at me like that! I _________(sell) my hair because I ___________(want) to give you a present.' 'You ____________(sell) your hair?' he _________(say) quietly.'Yes, I ___________(tell) you. But don't worry. It grows so fast. But don't you love me anymore, Jim?'
Suddenly Jim _________(put) his arms around Della. 'I love you, Della. It doesn't matter if your hair is long or short. But open this. Then you can see why I _______(be) unhappy at first.' Della ___________(open) the present excitedly. Then she ___________(give) a little scream of happiness. But a second later there was a cry of unhappiness. There _________(be) the combs — for her beautiful hair. When she first ________(see) these lovely, expensive combs in the shop window, she _____________(want) them. And now they __________(be) hers. But she no longer _________(have) her hair! Della ____________(hold) them in her hand and her eyes __________(be) full of love.Then Della _______________(remebered). She ___________(run) to get Jim's present. 'Isn't it lovely, Jim?' Give me your beautiful watch, and let's see it with its new chain!' But Jim __________(sit) down and _____________(smile). 'Della, you see. I ____________(sell) the watch to buy your combs.
