One evening, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I 1 happily home through the 2 street. We had been to a musical and 3 about the people we had seen and heard in it.
“The show 4 him a star overnight,” said my friend about one of them. “He was completely 5 before. And now thousands of people 6 him gifts and letters.” “I thought him quite good,” I said, “but not 7 thousands of letters. As a matter of 8 ,”one of his songs gave me a shock. It was too noisy. “What was that?” my friend asked me, “ 9 it to me.” I began to sing. “Do be quiet. You will give everybody a shock and 10 them up for miles 11 . Besides, there will be a policeman 12 us. ”My friend gave me an astonished look.
“Never mind. I don’t care. What is the matter?” I said and went on singing 13 the top of my voice.
Presently there came a policeman, 14 in front of me, his notebook 15 . “ 16 , sir,” he said, “You have a very good voice, if I 17 say so. Who taught you singing? I’d very much 18 to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons. Would you be 19 to tell me your name and address? Then my wife and I would 20 on you and we could discuss it.”
