Mr and Mrs Brown 22 go abroad for some time. They
had a dog called Blackie which they were very fond of, but as
dogs were not allowed on a plane, they 23 not take him
with them. So they 24 a good place to leave him while they
were away, and at last found a place which looked after dogs
very well while their owners were away. They took Blackie
there just before they left for their holiday, and sadly said
goodbye to him. At the end of their holiday, they 25 get
back to England very late at night, and as they thought that the
place where Blackie was staying 26 be closed at the late hour,
they 27
wait until the next morning before
going to get him. So the next morning Mr Brown 28 get
into his car and drive off to collect Blackie. When he reached
home with the dog, he said to his wife, 'Do you know, dear, I
don't think Blackie 29 have enjoyed his stay at that place
very much. He barked all the way home in the car as if he 30
tell me something'.
Mrs Brown looked at the dog carefully and then answered,
'You are quite right, dear. He certainly 31 tell you something.
But he wasn't trying to tell you that he hadn't enjoyed his stay at
that place. He was only trying to tell you that you were bringing
the wrong dog home. This isn't Blackie! You 32 have been more
attentive!
