Gap-Fill Exercise


There was once a man who was being by a ferocious tiger across a
field. At the of the field there was a cliff. In order to the
jaws of the tiger, the man caught hold of a vine and swung himself over the
edge of the cliff. Dangling down, he saw, to his , there were more
tigers on the ground below him! And, furthermore, two little mice were
on the vine to which he clung. He knew that at any moment he would
fall to certain death. That's when he noticed a wild strawberry growing on
the cliff wall. Clutching the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry
with the other and put it in his mouth.
He never before realized how sweet a strawberry could taste.
