“You can 6 it if you want it , Peter ,” he said at long last . “Oh , thanks . ”I said 7 more . I couldn’t show any of my eagemess .

For a penny you could buy the magic cylinder of “Long Tom ” popcom（爆米花）. 9 the more I thought my shining 10 disappearing forever into the black drawer the store keeper 11 his money in , the slower my 12 became as the store came nearer and nearer . I 13 down in the road . I began to play with the penny , putting off the 14 . I closed my eyes and 15 it deep in the sand ; and then , with my eyes still closed , 16 and walked around and then came back to search for it . I did that again and again . Alas , once 17 often , the penny was lost .
It was almost dark when their 18 talking awakened me . It was Mothen who had found me . “Peter ! When made you come up here and hide ?” I was to have told her the whole story but Father was there . How could I bear the 19 to repeat the 20 thing before him !
