Mr Jenkins has several big shops in the city. He's very rich but he does his best{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(pay) the persons who work in his shops less. And they all hate him.

    Several months ago a young woman borrowed thirty thousand dollars from him. But she couldn't return the money to him in time. He went to her and made her {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(give) her ring to him which cost more than fifty thousand dollars. He put it into his wallet and went home happily. But when he got to the bus stop, the bus{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(leave). He hurried to get on and left his wallet outside. He didn't find it until he got home. He hurried{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) promise, “If someone finds my wallet and returns it to me, I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give) half the money to him.”

    An old woman who{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(wait) for another bus that day found the wallet. She sent it back to Mr Jenkins. But he changed his mind.

    “There are two rings in my wallet,” said Mr Jenkins, “

    I won't give half the money in my wallet to you until you return the other ring to me.”

    “I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(see) only a ring in the wallet,” the old woman said and took the man to a judge and told him what {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(happen) to them. The judge said to Mr Jenkins, “I'm sure you have lost a wallet in which there are two rings and some money. But there is only one ring in this wallet. I{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(not think) it's yours. Wait for some days. Perhaps someone will be able to return your wallet to you.”

    Then the judge turned to the old woman and said, “Take the wallet home. If the loser doesn't go to get it back in three days, it{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(belong) to you.”

Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions {#blank#}5{#/blank#} at night.
