Passage
Tapescript
Ramon was very proud of his dog Blackie. Whenever he got a chance, he would ask his dog to amuse 4 his friends with some tricks,
One day Ramon went to visit his friend Frank 5 who was sick at home with a bad cold. 'How are you feeling?’ asked Ramon. 'Worse than yesterday,' replied Frank. 'I have a terrible cough, and there's not a drop of medicine in the house. '
'Cheer up, Frank. I'll send Blackie to the local drugstore for some cough syrup 6. He'll be back in a minute, before you know it. ' Ramon put a five-dollar bill in Blackie's mouth and the dog ran down the street. 'And keep the change, ' Ramon shouted after him.
'Oh, Ramon, don't be silly. You know that dog won't be back with any medicine.' Oh yes, he will, ' replied Ramon. Half an hour later, however, Blackie had not returned. Ramon was feeling embarrassed 7, and felt angry at his friend's little smile.
'Something has happened to him, I'm sure, ' said Ramon. 'He obeys me as a rule. ' Just then Frank saw Blackie at a distance. He hurried to open the door and let him in. Frank was shocked 8 to see a bottle of medicine in the dog's mouth.
'Good boy, ' said Ramon, 'but what took you so long?' Blackie ran over to the window, barking 9 and wagging 10 his tail. Ramon glanced 11 out and saw a bone outside.
