When I was a child I used to look forward to Saturday mornings. That was when my brother, Bernard, and I got our pocket money from our father. I would put half of it in my money box, ____ run off happily with the rest to Bartlett’s, a little, local ____ at the end of our street.

There I would join the other children ____ to spend their pocket money, and we’d ask Mrs. Bartlett to ____ us “the tray (托盘)”. In those days, there weren’t all the ____ of sweets and chocolate bars you see on sale now. All Mrs. Bartlett ____ were a few items arranged on a simple wooden ____, which she kept under the counter. But to us it was a wonderful ____: toffees, lollipops, barley sugar, and sweets wrapped in colorful paper. It always took ages for each child to ____ what to buy. But Mrs. Bartlett didn’t ____: as long as there were no grown-up customers waiting to be ____, she let us take our time.

Bernard liked sweets, too. The ____ was he didn’t like buying them. When I went to Bartlett’s, he went to a newsagent’s shop that sold football cards. He was ____ about these picture cards of famous footballers and spent all his pocket money trying to ____ whole teams of players.

On Saturday afternoons he would ____ the house and find out where I was. He knew I had been to Bartlett’s. If I didn’t ____ my bag of sweets quickly enough, he’d see it and say, “Can I have one?” And I would say, “Why should I give you one? You had your pocket money, too — you could have____ your own sweets.” Then Bernard would go to our mother to ____, “Mom, Helen has a whole bag of sweets and she won’t give me one.” To which Mum would say, “Helen, don’t be so ____. Share your sweets with your brother!” I thought this was really ____, but of course I gave him some sweets.
