People had to walk on         artificial path made by a line of bricks       (get) to the other side. A friend of         complained all the way while        (step)on the bricks walking towards her. Looking around, her friend said extremely        (patience), “Disgusting indeed! What if I fall into the dirty water?” Since he was her        (acquaint), she nodded cautiously, hoping to comfort him by her silent sympathy.
A few minutes later another friend turned         at the same scene. She walked on the same brick path dancing briskly and singing merrily, “Jump, jump, jump!” until she reached the dirty ground. She couldn’t help shouting, “      fun it is!” Eyes beaming with joy, she made the remarks, “The most pleasant thing of the rainy season is       one can entirely be free from dust.”
