Mr. Hall was a rich businessman and lived in a big house beside a beautiful river.
The river usually     16     over in winter, and one year     17     happened very early, so that by Christmas time it was covered with really     18     ice. People could walk across it safely.
The sight of this ice gave Mr. Hall     19    . He decided to have a big Christmas party on the ice. He would have all the furniture in his living-room _ 20 _ out onto the ice. He would have pretty colored lights _ 21 _  all around, and they would have a wonderful party. So he sent out     22     to all his important friends, and on Christmas Eve they all began to _ 23   his house and then went onto the ice. They were all in very good _ 24   and thought that it _25_a wonderful idea of Mr. Hall to have a party on the ice.
The party   26   until late at night, and as the _ 27   guests said their merry Christmas, Mr. Hall was pleased with himself for the     28   party.
He had drunk rather  29   at the party, so he did not wake up very early     30  morning. In fact, it was   31  midday when he got up and looked out of the window at the spot where the party was held last night.     32     he saw there made him wonder whether he was still  33 _. He closed his eyes, opened them again but there was no mistake! The ice had ­­    34   up in the early sunshine and had carried all his living-room furniture out to     35  .
