Lord crawford and the lion
once lord crawford went lion shooting and took his servant jenkins
with him. it was a safari he (1. dream) of for a long time. the men
(2. walk) through the jungle when they (3. notice) a great and pow
erful lion (4. come out of the bushes. "i never (5. see) such a big
lion in my whole life! it (6. make) a beautiful skin for my drawing
room," thought his lordship and (7. raise) his gun. and the lion
(8. prepare) for a jump. a second later a shot (9. hear) and at the
same time the men saw the lion (10. spring) up into the air right
over his lordship's head. a second later lord crawford (11. know)
that he (12. miss) the animal. he (13. think) he (14. give) a bad gun
and if he (15. have) another gun his shot (16. be) more accurate.
taking a new gun from his servant's hands lord crawford (17. tru)
his skill again. this time he (18. aim) at a small green leaf in the
tree for a minute or two before he (19. shoot). unfortunately the shot
(20. waste) again. "i (21. get) old," said the aristocrat almost in tears.
"my lord." (22. reply) jenkins. "(23. not, worry)! the lion (24. miss)
you too! " and they both (25. turn) around (26. look) for the lion
the powerful animal (27. not, go) away; but it (28. pay) little atten-
tion to his lordship and his servant: the lion (29. practise) short dis-
tance jumps and the expression on his face (30. speak) of unhappy
thoughts.​
