Mark Twain and the Ascot Cup
The English are fond of horseracing. They (1) (hold) hold horse races near Ascot every year. These races (2) have become very popular all over England. Sports fans (3) arrive at Ascot from all corners of the country. Once one of the members of the race organizers committee found that the Gold Cup (4) wasn’t in its usual place. It (5) had disappeared Nobody (6) knew where it (7) could (8) be. The police (9) looked for it all over the country but without any result. At that time Mark Twain, a witty American writer, (10) came to England. He (11) had an invitation from the English Literary Society. In the evening during the dinner in Mark Twain’s honour the President of the society was giving a speech. He (12) raised a toast to Mark Twain. The American writer (13) replied: “Gentlemen. Let me (14) thank you for the great honour you (15) are doing me. I (16) have never had such an enjoyable time with colleagues. But I rather (17) doubt that all your countrymen join you in your warm welcome. Arriving at Dover yesterday the first thing I (18) saw was a newspaper poster on which I (19) read two headings in big red letters: MARK TWAIN ARRIVES. ASCOT CUP STOLEN!” The audience (20) met this witty speech of the writer with a shout of laughter and applause.
