He _____________(meet) her early in the spring as he ___________ (fly) down the river after a big yellow moth, and _____________(be) so attracted by the slender waist that he ____________(stop) to talk to her.

Shall I love you? ___________(say) the Swallow, who ____________(like) to come to the point at once, and the Reed _____________(make) him a low bow. So he _____________(fly) round and round her, touching the water with his wings, and making silver ripples. This was his courtship, and it ____________(last) all through the summer.

It is a ridiculous attachment:, ___________(twitter) the other Swallows; she has no money, and far too many relations; and indeed the river was quite full of Reeds. Then, when the autumn ____________(come) they all ___________(fly) away.

After they ____________(go) he _____________(feel) lonely, and _____________(begin) to tire of his lady-love. [..]

Will you come away with me? he ___________(say) finally to her; but the Reed ____________ (shake) her head.

Youve been trifling with me, he ____________(cry). I am off to the Pyramids. Good-bye! and he ___________(fly) away.

All day long he flew, and at night-time he ____________(arrive) at the city.

Then he _____________(see) the statue (The Happy Prince) on the column. [] I have a golden bedroom, he ____________(say) softly to himself as he ____________(look) round, and he _____________(prepare) to go to sleep; but just as he _______________(put) his head under his wing a large drop ___________(fall) on him. What a curious thing! he cried; there is not a single cloud in the sky, the stars are quite clear and bright, and yet it is raining.

Then another drop ____________(fall).

Before he ____________(open) his wings to fly away, a third drop _____________(fall), and he ____________(look) up and _____________(see) Ah! what _______ he ___________(see)?
