Dick Whittington
Once upon a time, there ________ a poor orphan boy
_______ Dick Whittington. The people in his village __________ that the streets
of London were paved with gold. So Dick ________ to travel there and become a
rich man.
Dick _______ for many days,
but when he _________
in London there were no
streets of gold! Tired and hungry, he ______ asleep on the steps of a great house.
The house belonged to a rich businessman who _______ Dick and gave him a job cleaning
the kitchen. Dick _______
very hard and was happy. He _______
enough to eat and at night he _______ sleep by the fire.
There ______ a problem though!
At night, rats ______ around the kitchen
and _________ him awake.
So Dick ________ out and found the fastest
rat-catching cat in London! The cat ________ all the rats that _________ into the
house and Dick ________ sleep at night.
The businessman __________ about the amazing
cat and _________ Dick if he ________ take it on his ship to catch rats on his next journey. Dick _______, but ________ very sad to see the cat go.
While the businessman _______ away, the other servants
________ very mean
to Dick, so Dick __________ to run away. But
as he was leaving, one of the great church bells _________. It _______- to say,
‘Turn back, Dick Whittington, Mayor of London!’
So Dick _________
back to the house and soon the businessman _________. He_______ very happy because
Dick’s cat had caught all the rats on the ship. He _______ Dick a reward and
__________ him to his assistant.
Dick _________ hard for the businessman and
__________ everything he could. Eventually he ________ the businessman’s daughter and _________
a very successful
business of his own. And, yes, he did become Mayor of
London!
