prised when he (4. see) an old gentleman at the bus stop. The gen-
tleman (5. have) a big, strong black umbrella in his hand. Mr
Andrews (6. say) to him, "You (7. think) we (8. be going) (9. have)
rain today?"
“No,” (10. answer) the old gentleman. “I (11. not, think) so.”
“Then why you (12. carry) the umbrella on such a warm day?"
The gentleman (13. smile) and (14. explain), “I (15. be) an old man,
and my legs (16. not, be) very strong. It (17. become) very difficult
for me to walk without a walking stick.' But when I (18. carry) a
walking stick, people (19. say) that I (20. look) old and they
(21. feel) sorry for me. And I (22. not, like) that. When I (23. carry)
