In this famous work by the American author O. Henry a very poor man, Tripp, tells the narrator, a newspaper journalist, a true story in return for one dollar. This is the beginning of his story.
“What is the story?” I asked.
“I (1) ______ you,” said Tripp. “It’s a girl—a beauty. She (2) ______ in the country twenty years and (3) ______ New York City before. I ran against her on Thirty-fourth Street. She (4) ______ me on the street and (5) ______ me where she (6) ______ George Brown. What do you think of that? Some years ago George Brown, her sweetheart, (7) ______ for New York to make his fortune. He (8) ______ since then. So this morning Ada—her name’s Ada Lowery—came to the city (9) ______ for George Brown. She thought the first person she (10) ______ (11) ______: ‘George Brown?—why, yes—let me see—he’s a short man with light-blue eyes, isn’t he? Oh yes—he (12) ______ on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street, right next to the grocery.’ That’s about how innocent she is. What (13) ______ I do? I (14) ______ no money, as usual, and she (15) ______ her last cent of pocket-money for her railroad ticket.”
“What is the story?” I asked. “I shall tell you,” said Tripp.
“It’s a girl. A beauty. She has lived in the country twenty years and has not seen New York City before. I ran against her on Thirty-fourth Street. She stopped me on the street and asked me where she could find George Brown. What do you think of that?
Some years ago George Brown, her sweet-heart, set off for New York to make his fortune. He has not been seen since then. So this morning Ada — her name’s Ada Lowery — came to the city to look for George Brown. She thought the first person she would meet would say: ‘George Brown? — why, yes — let me see — he’s a short man with light-blue eyes, isn’t he? Oh yes — he can be found on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street, right next to the grocery.’ That’s about how innocent she is.
What could I do? I had no money, as usual, and she had paid her last cent of pocket-money for her railroad ticket.”
