It was Sunday afternoon. I 1 a cookery program on TV when I 2 how hungry I was. But of course I was hungry; I 3 anything since lunch, and I 4 a race in the morning. “Biscuits!” I 5 . My mother 6 me a jar of delicious home-made biscuits.
I 7 into the kitchen, 8 the fridge and 9 some milk in a big glass. Then I 10 for the kitchen chair but it 11 there: somebody 12 it away. And there were no biscuits in the biscuit jar: somebody 13 them all! I was sure I 14 the jar there the previous day, and I 15 only one cookie. It was very strange.
A few minutes later, I 16 my glass of milk when I 17 a loud noise coming from the dining room. I 18 there quickly and I 19 the door. I couldn’t believe my eyes. An enormous monkey 20 the biscuits excitedly on the kitchen chair.
