I did it.” Afterwards, he collected <br />some ballpens, __4__ to do the same. Hard though he tried, the ballpens just <br />lay __5__. He turned to me for help. Noticing they had either sharp or round ends, <br />I said __6__, “Mummy can't help you.” To my surprise, he wouldn't listen and <br />continued trying...

The __14__ thing I heard about him was that his wife <br />divorced him. Since then I've never seen him.
