H. Passage
⑴ Ted cooked beef stew yesterday, but he didn’t have enough of the ingredients. He
　　used less meat and fewer tomatoes than the recipe required. He also used less salt,
　　less red wine, and fewer potatoes than he was supposed to. As a result, Ted’s beef
　　stew didn’t taste very good.
　　I lost hope of catching my ship. I had not enough money to buy a ticket for another
　　ship, or to stay in a hotel for several days. My bank was far away. But I did not
　　need a hotel, I was going to the police-station.
⑵ It seemed a long time before the officer reached me, and when at last his face came
　　round the door, it was very hot. Most of the things from the corridor were now
　　outside on the station, and a lot of very angry people were out there too. I got ready
　　to go with the officer.

⑵ A city lad, visiting the sea side for the first time, found himself walking along
　　the dock of a little fishing village.
　　“ That’s the sea?” he asked an old fisherman.
　　“ That’s right, my dear,” said the fisherman.
　　“ I hear it’s very good for the feet. I’d like to try it.” said the innocent vacationer.
　　“ I can help you there, my dear,” said the fisherman, and he let down a bucket into the sea, filled it, and drew it up again. “You can bathe your old tootsies in there, my dear. Only a dime.”
　　So that city lad paid his money, took off his socks and shoes, and had a paddle; then away he went, quite satisfied.
　　A couple of hours later he passed the same fisherman, and by this time the tide had gone out quite a distance.
　　“ My goodness!” he exclaimed, “Business must be good!”
