     When they were back in the evening, the man who brought an umbrella got his clothes          in rain; the one taking a crutch fell, all covered with mud; but the man empty-handed kept his clothes dry,     __      any mud on it. The former two guys felt it was       , so they asked the third man why.

I didn’t think I would be caught in the rain, but           my clothes got so showered. Going to the places which were too muddy to cross,         that I didn’t have a crutch for fear of falling, I walked very carefully. It     _ that I walked all the way back          and sound.”

After hearing          the first man said, the third man then asked the man with a crutch why he became muddied all over himself instead of getting showered.
