Mr．Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had 5 a long rope to one of the branches so that they could swing on it．
Mr．Jones was 6 to see the professor 7 when he saw the rope, and looked 8 up and down the road．When he saw that there was nobody in sight, he 9 into the garden, put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat on the grass and 10 the rope．He 11 it hard to see whether it was strong enough to 12 his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the 13 on the end of the rope, his grey hair 14 all around his face．Backwards and forwards he swung, 15 taking a few more 16 steps on the grass when the rope began to swing 17 slowly for him．
