| Judy was afraid of the dark. At night she always __________________ the lights on. Judy couldn’t explain what exactly she was afraid of. She __________________ in monsters or in ghosts. She was one of those rare girls who never screamed when she saw spiders, __________________ and frogs. But everyone in her family knew that a dark room was the __________________ of her fears. One day, when Judy __________________ something in her room, her mother came in holding a big shopping bag. “Guess what I__________________,” she said to Judy. “I have no idea. Is it for __________________?” Judy felt very curious about the bag. Her mother pulled two packages from her shopping bag. In the first package there were some very nice slippers. They __________________ from soft, pink fabric and had bright flashing lights. Inside the second package were glow-in-the-dark pyjamas! Judy said she __________________ to try them on immediately. Amazingly, she felt safe all through the night. In a few days the lights stopped flashing but Judy realised she didn’t feel afraid of the dark any more. | LEAVE NOT/BELIEVE MOUSE BAD DRAW BUY I MAKE WANT |
