The Boy Called Ray
Ray is a 10-year-old boy. He keeps regular hours in his daily life,
even during the holidays. He spends average of two hours each
afternoon being alone in the garden. He usually takes a nap there. Then he
flies a kite or reads books.
One afternoon, Ray decided to do an experiment. He wanted to tie a
lantern to his kite and then fly the kite in the evening. He wouldn't like
(tell) his parents.
At the dinner table, Ray thought," There's a lot of work to get
tonight. I have to eat quickly and leave early."
As soon as he finished his dinner, he took a lantern and his kite to
an open field without telling his parents.
Then he began to do the experiment. He tried several times before he
could (success) make the kite with a lantern fly in the sky. Ray
(concentration) on the experiment so hard that he forgot the
time. When he returned home, it was already 10 pm.
Ray's mother noticed his strange (behave). She was so
worried about him she sat on the sofa and waited for him
anxiously. When she saw Ray (walk) into the room, she asked him"
Ray, where did you go? You've spent a large amount of time outside by
(you) tonight. I'm so worried. What happened to you? You can
talk over your problems with Daddy and me. We're always ready to help you."
Her words had great (effect) on Ray." I'm sorry,
Mom," said Ray. Then he told his mother about the experiment.
