Answer:
She (1)....(hunt) for a book in the airport shops, (2) ....(buy) a bag of cookies and found a place to sit. She (3)....(engross) in her book but happened to see that the man sitting beside her, bold as could be, grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. So she (4)....(munch) the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy thief diminished her stock. She (5)....(get) more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking. If I wasn't so nice, I (6)....(black) his eye. With each cookie she took, he took one too. When only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh, he (7)....(take) the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other. She had never known she could be so angry and turned to gather her belongings. As she reached for her baggage, she gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes. If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his and he (8)....(try) to share.
1. The woman was waiting for her flight at the airport
2. She bought a book to read while she waited for her flight and a bag of cookies.
3. The man gave a nervous laugh, because he was taken aback by the actions of the woman, who was stealing cookies from his bag.
4. The woman felt sorry later on when she realized that her cookie bag was in her backpack, and in reality, SHE had been the one stealing the man's cookies
5. If I was in the place of the man in the poem, I would've politely told the woman that the bag of cookies was mine, but if she wanted I could share with her, this would clear any misunderstandings and would also open up the situation for further conversation.
