One evening Mr. Harris was on duty when the phone rang. He went to answer it. It was Mrs. Green.

      "Please, sir, come to my house. I had 5,000 dollars stolen. "

      Mr. Harris hurried to her house. He asked Mrs. Green, "When did you find the money missing?"

      "At seven, I put my money on the table in the living - room. Then I went to wash my hair. I came back at seven thirty and the money was gone. "

      "I see," Mr. Harris said, "Were you alone in the house?"     

"No. My sister's daughter, Nancy, was here, too."

      "Let's talk to Nancy," said Mr. Harris. They went to Nancy's room.

      Mr. Harris sat on the only chair in the room. The chair was cold. Mrs. Green and Nancy sat on the bed. Mr. Harris saw some books on the floor near the chair.

      "What have you been doing this evening?"

      "I've been studying because. I shall have a test tomorrow. I've been sitting on that chair reading all the time. I never got up and never left my room. But at about seven fifty I heard a sound, like someone closing the door. I didn't go out to have a look, for I was too busy. Maybe someone came into the house and took my aunt’s money. "

      After heating that, Mr. Harris was quite clear. He said to Mrs. Green, "Well, you won't have to be worried, and you’ll find the 5,000 dollars just in this room. "

A lady once had a monkey. It was a birthday present from her husband. This monkey,  35   all others, was very fond of making tricks and of doing whatever he   36   others do.

The lady found him one day sitting on the toilet table, holding in one hand a little china mug(杯) with water in it, and in the  37   her toothbrush, with which he was   38   his teeth, looking all the time in the glass.

Her little daughter, Maria, had a large   39   with a very handsome head and face. She one day   40   this doll in the small bed, and went out of the room. The monkey came in, took the doll in his   41  , and jumped upon the washstand, he began to wash its face. He first rubbed it all over with soap.
