Have you ever listened to young children talking in the playground? There are always boast

Have you ever listened to young children talking in the playground? There are always boasting. They say things like, “My Dad’s car is bigger than your Dad’s” and “My mom is smarter than yours.” They     1     like to boast about their families.
There were three little boys, Harry, Td and Gavin, who were always     2    . Gavin was the worst. Everything about his family was always     3     or the biggest or the most expensive.     4     other others said, he could always go one better.
One day when they were walking to     5     Harry said, “My father has a bath twice a week.” Ted spoke next. “That’s     6    ,” he said. “Having a bath twice a week is     7    . My father has a bath every day, sometimes twice a day.”
Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his     8    . But what could he say? “This time I’m going to win.” Ted thought.
Gavin didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that his father had a bath three times a day. That was     9    . He walked on his silence. Ted smiled at Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were sure that for once they had     10     Gavin. They reached the school gates. Still Gavin said nothing.
“We’ve won,” Ted said to Harry, but he spoke too soon. Gavin said, “My Dad’s do clean that he doesn’t have to bathe at all.”
