In this famous work by the American author O. Henry a very poor man, Tripp, tells the narrator, a newspaper journalist, a true story in return for one dollar. This is the beginning of his story.
“What is the story?” I asked. ‘I (1) shall tell you,” said Tripp.
“It’s a girl A beauty. She (2) has lived in the country twenty years and (3) has not seen New York City before. I ran against her on Thirty-fourth Street. She (4) stopped me on the street and (5) asked me where she (6) could find George Brown. What do you think of that?
Some years ago George Brown, her sweet-heart, (7) set off for New York to make his fortune. He (8) has not been seen since then. So this morning Ada — her name’s Ada Lowery — came to the city (9) to look for George Brown. She thought the first person she (10) would meet (11) would say: ‘George Brown? — why, yes — let me see — he’s a short man with light-blue eyes, isn’t he? Oh yes— he can (12) be found on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street, right next to the grocery.’ That’s about how innocent she is.
What (13) could I do? I (14) had no money, as usual, and she (15) had paid her last cent of pocket-money for her railroad ticket.”
