Once there lived a rich man with the name Baker，who was fond of chatting （聊天）． 1 he had his servant 2 all the housework，and therefore he had enough 3 to chat with people．One summer afternoon，he was 4 to his friend's birthday party．As soon as he got there，he began to chat．He 5 chatting at table．And all the other guests 6 but he didn't notice it．His 7 was worried．Because the man had 8 a call that his sister would come to see him．He was going to 9 her at the railway station．But Baker didn't want to say 10 to him and went on chatting，while eating the dishes．
“ 11 you like a roast（烤）bird，dear Baker？”asked the friend's wife．
“Sure，” answered Baker，“But 12 is it？”
“ 13 the bird in the big tree outside，” said the woman，“I want it to be you 14 dish．I'll cut the tree down， 15 it and roast it for you．”
“That would make a good dish！”said Baker，“But I'm afraid it'll 16 away before you begin to 17 the tree．”
“Don't 18 it，dear Baker，”the woman said with a smile，“It is a 19 bird．It doesn't know 20 ．”
