Mr Brown was good at singing and dancing．So he found work in a school．There he taught the students 1 ．At first he worked hard and most of his students sang and danced 2 ．So he was liked by everyone．But he liked drinking and spent much money on it．Sometimes he couldn’t go to school on time．The 3 told him to be careful of it，but soon he forgot it．
Once Mr Brown drank too much and 4 in the street．A policeman carried him to school．It surprised the school and the next day he was sent 5 ．
Now he couldn’t find any work in the town．And few people would help him．One morning he was very 6 while he was walking by a beautiful house．He found the gate open and quickly went in．He wanted to find some 7 ．Suddenly he saw a man coming towards him．He quickly went into room．There were a lot of instruments(乐器)in it．And soon a girl came in．He had to hide(藏)under a desk．The girl began to sing．She sang 8 but it lasted two hours．And after that a man and a fat woman came in．She began to 9 to dance．And at twelve，another girl came in and began to play the piano(弹钢琴)．She played even 10 and Mr Brown couldn’t stay there any longer．He came out and said，“Send me to the police station，madam！”
