The Unsuccessful Lecture
Once Mark Twain, the great American author and humourist, lectured in Newark. One afternoon a young man came up to him and said he (1) (have) had an uncle who (2) had stopped feeling any emotions. He also added that his uncle (3) had not laughed for a year. Mark Twain (4) felt sorry for the young man and told him to bring the uncle to his lecture. He explained to the young man that he (5) knew some jokes that always made people laugh.
“Oh, if you (6) do it, our family (7) will be very grateful to you,” said the young man.
The next day when the writer came onto the stage he saw that the young gentleman’s uncle (8) was sitting in the front row. Mark Twain remembered all his best jokes, his speech sparkled with humour, but the uncle never (9) smiled. After the performance Mark Twain told the president of the literary society about his failure. The president (10) shook his head and said that the writer (11) had wasted his time as the old man (12) had been deaf, dumb and blind for a year.
