－Excuse me, does Mr Smith’s son live here?
－He _________ be here, but he has moved.

Jack worked in a shop that sold clocks. He was always telling Harry  26 a new clock. But Harry,  27 lived next door to Jack, said he didn’t need one.
“  28 needs a clock,” Jack said. “How do you know when it’s time to get up?”
“My landlord Mr. Smith turns on his radio at seven o’clock and listens  29 the news,” Harry said. “That’s my morning call.”
“Ok. But how do you know when to go to work?”
“By the time I  30 my breakfast, it’s eight o’clock, time to leave for the office. Then I walk there. When I arrive at my office, it’s nice o’clock. That’s  31 time I start work.”
“Ok. But how do you know when it’s time to go home?”
“The factory bell  32 ” Harry told him.
“But how do you know when it’s time to go to bed?”
“The television programs come to end.”
By now Jack was really  33 . “Ok,” he shouted. “Now tell me what would happen  34 you woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to know the time.”
“That’s easy,” Harry said, “I would knock heavily on  35 wall. Then you would shout at me, ‘What are you doing knocking on my wall at three o’clock in the morning?’”

Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."

"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.

The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father? " The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."

The man was very surprised. He asked, "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?"

"Burnt yesterday evening."
