Re-write the passage below using paragraphs.‘Be quiet!’ cried a terrible voice, as a man leapt up from behind a gravestone. ‘Keep still, you little devil, or I'll
cut your throat!‘ A fearful man, with a deep scar across his left cheek, stared at me with eyes like the devil.
Clad in broken shoes, torn clothing and an old rag tied round his head, he stood in front of me dripping wet
and shaking with the cold. His left hand, wrapped in a makeshift bandage, was badly bleeding. He limped
towards me, shivering, glaring and growling; his teeth chattering in his head as he seized me by the chin.
`Oh! Don't cut my throat, sir,' I pleaded in terror. `Pray don't do it, sir.‘ `Tell us your name!' said the man.
`Quickly.‘ `Pip, sir.‘ `Once more,' said the man, staring at me. `Speak up. boy!‘ `Pip. Pip, sir.‘ `Show us where
you live,' said the man. `Point out the place!‘ I pointed to where our village lay, among the alder-trees and
pollards, a mile or more from the churchyard. The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside
down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread. He dumped me on a high
tombstone then snatched the bread from the muddy ground. I sat, trembling, while he ate it ravenously.
