填空题

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My nephew Tony had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His parents had no reason to be thankful to me either because the year before, I had 1 their dear son with a pot of paste and some funny picture instead of 2 them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year therefore, 1 decided to let him 3 for himself.
We went into a big shop, but Tony was very particular about toys. Although I tried to show him toy after toy, he was not to be 4 . Then I saw: he suddenly became excited; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happy too until I thought what Tony"s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any 5 for weeks! I led Tony away 6 : saying that the dram was too expensive.
Tony asked for permission to go off on his own and I made the most of my chance to sit down and 7 my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get 8 and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked about her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many small boys in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help, when I saw a strange 9 dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman"s axe in one hand and a space gun in the other. It was, of course, Tony, who informed me at once that he was the first 10 to fly into space.
