Dear Ethel

I’m writing to tell you about something that happened yesterday. I __________ up at the usual time

– about 10 am – __________ a shower and __________ breakfast. I __________ a big bowl of

cereal and some toast and watched TV for a while. Then I __________ into the kitchen where I

__________ a funny noise. I __________ it __________ from behind the cooker. I __________ my

tool box and moved the cooker out of the way.

The noise __________ louder but I couldn’t see anything. I __________ my uncle to ask his advice.

He __________ that he __________ it could be a gas leak. When I __________ this I just panicked!

I __________ the phone down, __________ outside, __________ in my car and __________ to the

local police station. I __________ them about my gas leak but the constable __________ his

patience with me. He __________ that I should have phoned the gas company. He __________ his

report, then __________ the gas company for me.

Then I remembered that my house doesn’t have gas – only electricity! I __________ really stupid

and __________ that the constable would be angry with me for wasting his time, so I __________

out of the police station while he __________ still on the phone. I __________ home to try to find

out what the noise __________. On the way I __________ a newspaper and I __________ about

an escaped llama that __________ out of the city safari park last Wednesday.

When I __________ home I __________ my key in the door, turned it, __________ inside and

straight away __________ that funny noise again. I __________ my breath and opened the door

slowly. Guess what? I __________ the llama hiding in my cupboard! I __________ him stay and he

__________ in my garden last night. The snoring __________ so loud! This morning I __________

him back to the safari park. They __________ really pleased to see him again and __________ me

a reward of £50!

Hope you are well. Write soon and let me know how you are.

Your friend,

Alan
