"I say, Sam," (say) 3 the shopkeeper coming up to the man who (put) 4 the piece of butter in his hat. "I say, Sam, sit down. Let's have a cup of tea. It's good on such a cold frosty night." Sam (can not) 5 (refuse) 6. For some time he (forget) 7 about the butter he (hide) 8 under his hat. But after the first cup of tea Sam (feel) 9 the butter (melt) 10 and he (jump) 11 up saying he must go. The shopkeeper (remind) 12 him that he (not eat) 13 a piece of strawberry pie yet and (make) 14 him i sit) 15 down again. The butter started pouring down Sam's face and neck into his clothes. The shopkeeper (laugh) 16 at the trick he (play) 17.
