    When a wolf was walking near a village, he met a dog. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to be a very bony(瘦骨嶙峋的)dog. The wolf had not been hungrier than usual. So he began to move {#blank#}2{#/blank#}towards the dog, while the dog backed away.

    "Let me remind you," said the dog. "it will be an unhappy thing for you to eat me now. Look at {#blank#}3{#/blank#}ribs(肋骨). I am nothing but skin and bone. But let me tell you something in private. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a few days my master will give a wedding feast (宴会) for his only daughter.

    You can guess how fine and fat I will be on the leftovers(残羹剩饭) from the table.

Then it will be the best time for you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me."

    The wolf couldn't help thinking how nice it would be to cat a fine and fat dog instead of the bony one. So he went away.

    Some days later, the wolf came back for the promised feast. He found the dog in his {#blank#}6{#/blank#}yard, and asked him to come out and was ready to eat him.

    "Sir," said the dog. "I shall be glad to have you cat me. I will be out as {#blank#}7{#/blank#}as

the porter(看门的人) opens the door."

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the "porter" was a huge dog to be very unkind towards wolves, which the wolf knew by a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}experience. He learnt an important lesson {#blank#}10{#/blank#}what you can get when you can get it. So he decided not to wait and ran away as fast as possible.

    One Christmas Eve, Santa landed his sleigh(雪橇) on a house with his bag of toys and slid down the chimney(烟肉). Once he was inside the house, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} went to work, setting out the toys he had brought to the Reilly twins, Erin and Pat.

    After it was down, Santa {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a plate of cookies and a glass of milk set out with a note that read-for Santa. Santa sat down in a big chair and soon found he had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the whole plate of cookies and had drunk the whole glass of milk. As he got up to leave, he noticed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} plate of fudge(奶油软糖). Before long, Santa ate every on this plate, too.

    When he finished eating, he started to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} up the chimney with his toy bag. The only problem was, he had eaten too much and now he and his bag did not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the chimney. Santa went back to the Christmas tree and placed a few more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} under the tree from his bag and again he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} climbing up the chimney. Again, he did not fit. So he went back to the tree and this time, he placed every gift in his bag {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the tree. At last, Santa with his{#blank#}10{#/blank#} bag was able to climb up the chimney.
