My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He has had it 16  and as he is very  17  it, it still looks as good as new.
“That umbrella must have   18  you a great deal of money, Uncle.” I said to him one day.
“No,” he replied, “ 19 ”
“Was it a present?” I asked again.
“No,” said he.
“Then how did you get it?” I asked.
“Well,” he answered, “it is a strange true story. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening   20   it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat and no umbrella. No buses ran through that street and there were no   21  in sight. As I was on my way to a party, I didn't want to get  22  . So I stood at a doorway and waited for the rain to stop. By and by it grew quite  23  .There wasn't a person around, and  24   it rained and rained.  25   a young man came to the place where I was standing,  26    a large umbrella over his head.  27  I hoped he would   28   me to walk to the next corner with him in order that I could get a taxi, I stepped   29   the dark doorway where I had been standing, and said: “  30  , where are you going with that umbrella?”
31   by my sudden appearance, the young man  32   the umbrella, which, I'm afraid, he had just stolen, ran away, and  33  into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be  34  in this big city to try and discover the owner and so I've kept it   35  .”
