My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He has had it  36  and as he is very  37  it, it still looks as good as new.
“That umbrella must have   38  you a great deal of money, Uncle.” I said to him one day.
“No,” he replied, “ 39 ”
“Was it a present?” I asked again.
“No,” said he.

By and by it grew quite  43 .There wasn't a person around, and  44  it rained and rained.  45  a young man came to the place where I was standing,  46   a large umbrella over his head.  47  I hoped he would   48  me to walk to the next corner with him in order that I could get a taxi, I stepped   49  the dark doorway where I had been standing, and said: “ 50 , where are you going with that umbrella?”
 51  by my sudden appearance, the young man  52   the umbrella, which, I'm afraid, he had just stolen, ran away, and  53  into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be  54  in this big city to try and discover the owner and so I've kept it   55 .”
