‘Where do you want the tent put, mother?’ asked Laura. ‘My dear child, it’s no use asking me,’ replied her mother. ‘I’m 32_________ to leave everything to my children this year. Forget I am your mother and treat me as an honoured guest.’ Her sister Meg could not 33__________ go and supervise the men.

A trip to Thailand

I have always been interested in various cultures especially those completely alien to us. Thus, imagine my delight when my father 30 ______ me that he was taking us on a holiday to Bangkok and from there to visit a remote tribe that lives about 200 kilometers north of the capital city.

During our trip I have noticed that the Thai people are very friendly and their greetings are very 32 ______ to the Indians’.

It would definitely 33 ______ you feel as an honored guest. At first, I was rather 34 ______ by these greeting traditions which seemed so unusual and respectful to me. Surprisingly, soon I got used to doing that myself and 35 ______ this procedure during my entire trip to Thailand.

In the middle of our village, there is a beautiful old church, which dates back to the beginning of the Middle Ages. It was rebuilt several times, but some of its parts, including the foundations, are   30 ______.
Well,   31 ______ about restoration, a while ago they decided to install a heating system there, as it gets cold in winter. Some of the local boys volunteered to help, including myself.

We got really   32 ______, as we had heard stories about an old underground passageway leading from a crypt below the church to the castle in the nearest city. It is twelve miles   33 ______.

We found that one side of the hole was so soft that you could just   34 ______ a stick through it. It was obviously that passageway! Then some workmen came in and told us to stop. Just fancy that! We had to stop at the most exciting moment.
After a few days, the workmen put a layer of hard cement over the entire floor, so our find remained a mystery. But I won’t give   35 ______. I still hope to go there some day and find that secret tunnel. Maybe, that will become the greatest   36 ______ of the 21st century.
