"I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on . I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was a thief(小偷).

When I came home at night, Mum asked, “How did you    17  your lunch, dear?”I answered,“I made some new friends in the supermarket, twin brothers, their mom and dad. They were my customers. They invited me   18   lunch."

Mum was happy that I had made new friends but she wanted to know what kinds of    19  they might be.
