Bruce and Bruno looked worried those days. Their father went to a town far away. Before leaving, he said he would write to them as soon {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he found a job there. But two months {#blank#}2{#/blank#}/pɑ:st/, they did not hear from him. Now they had nothing except the old house and they had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} /nəʊ/ money to buy any food. They thought for a long time. Then they decided to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (seller) the house and look for their father. So one day the two brothers said goodbye to their friends and started to go. They arrived {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the station and bought two tickets.

     They were{#blank#}6{#/blank#} /əˈfreid/that they would be hungry in the train, so they went to the market to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}something to eat. They saw bananas for the first time. The seller told them the bananas were delicious, so they {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(buy) five kilos and got on the train with them. After a while Bruce brought out a banana and bit(咬) a little. Just {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that moment the train went into a tunnel(隧道) and it was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} /dɑ:k/in the train. He was afraid and called out, “Have you taken a bite of your bananas, Bruno?”

   “Not yet.”

   “That's good.” Bruce said, crying, “I did and went blind!”
