PRINCE SNEEZE Part 4 A baby’s cry (1) , and the King and the Queen rushed panic- stricken to where their little son (2) in his cradle on a raised platform at the head of the hall. The little Prince’s fat, pink face was twisted into dreadful lines; he opened his mouth wide several times and half closed it again; then, opening it wider than ever, he sneezed a terrible sneeze. There came a loud clap of thunder. When the confusion was over, the Court Astrologer was found (3) into an eight-day clock, with a sun, moon, and stars arrangement, a planetary indicator, and a calendar calculated for two thousand years. The banquet ended rather gloomily, although the gifts of the other fairies, such as health, wealth, and beauty, managed to make everyone (4} more cheerful. When the guests were gone, the King and Queen (5) Doctor Pill, the court physician, to consult him (6) the measures which ought (7) to prevent the Prince’s sneezing. As for the poor Court Astrologer, he was hung up in the sacristy of the cathedral, and every eight days his wife wound him up, with tears. “What shall we do, doctor?” asked the King rather mournfully. “The Prince must be preserved from the things which (8) sneezing,” said the doctor sagely. “Such as draughts?” suggested the King. “Draughts, head-colds, snuff, and pepper,” answered the leech. “Let his little highness (9) into a special suite of rooms; admit no person to them until he has been examined for head-cold, and (10) _* germ-proof garments, and as his little highness (11) older, forbid the use of pepper in his food.

At this the Queen (1) to weep again, for she, quite naturally, did not wish to part with her child. “But, my dear, we can’t have him sneezing, and things changing all the time,” said the King. “1 beg Your Majesty to consider the danger of a head-cold,” (2) the doctor. “Yes, think of the danger of a head-cold,” echoed the King, who saw (3) than the Queen the chaos that might result if the Prince was attacked (4) a prolonged fit of sneezing. “People with head-colds may sneeze ten or fifieen times a day.” “Or fifty,” said the doctor. “Or fifty,” echoed the King again, (5) his head, for he was torn between paternal love and kingly duty. “Lmagine fifty enchantments in a day! By eventide the whole kingdom (6) upset, undone, and the people plotting a revolution.” “The tower on the Golden Mountain is in a fine healthful locality,” said the doctor, “and the Prince could be (7) as happily there as in the palace.” So at length the Queen consented. In (8) days the tittle Prince, who had not sneezed a second time, was removed to the tower on the Golden Moun- tain. His room, (9) by Doctor Pill, was completely protected from draughts, and every breath of air that entered it was tri-bi-sterilized. Mrs. Pill, who had been a hospital nurse, took care of him. Three times a week, (10) Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, his royal parents rode out to the tower, and after (11) germ-proof garments, were admitted to the nursery of their infant son. And so the years went by. Nobody was found able to break Malvolia’s speli, and the clue to (12) undoing had been carried away by the wind.

Accomplished teachers taught him history, music, drawing, dancing, and all the other things that a prince ought to know. But of real life he knew almost (1) at all, His most faithful friend during these lonely years (2) a French poodle, who spoke both French and English exceedingly well. Of course, he had a marked canine accent, rather growling his g’s and howling the aw’s and the ow’s, but his words were well (3) and his vocabulary extensive. Never was seen a more friendly, wise, and devoted animal. When the King decided to have him sent away for a while, for he feared that his son was getting a touch of Poldo’s barky manner of speaking, from too close an as- sociation, the little Prince (4) teally ill from grief, and the King (5) to alter his decision. During his imprisonment in the tower, in spite of all precautions, the Prince sneezed three times. At the first sneeze, all the dogs in the kingdom except Poldo changed into cats, and all the cats into dogs, Though this (6) a serious trouble, the change was certainly inconvenient. All the dog-cats came out meowing at people as the dogs (7) at them, and they chased people down the street; the cat-dogs, on the other hand, stayed in the kitchen under the stove, and (8) mice in the pantry. Great St. Bernards might be seen licking their paws and rubbing them over their foreheads, and fat, old cat-lap-dogs used (9) to purr. At the second sneeze, all the elderly gentlemen (10) seventy changed irito elm trees, a proceeding that caused a terrible lot of trouble. 153At the third sneeze, ali the people in the pictures at the Art Museum became alive, and for a week the soldiers of the royal guard spent most of their time (11) poor, bewildered fauns, satyrs, nymphs, Roman senators, and long dead celebrities and historical personages from the worst destitution.

At length he said, “Dear Prince Rolandor, do not (7) hope. Have you ever thought of consulting my old master, the Giant of the North Pole?

The Giant of the North Pole was a tall, strong, yellow-haired fellow (7) a crown of ice and a great sweeping mantle (8) the white fur of the polar bear. His servants were the Gusts,--strange, supple, shadowy creatures moving quickly to and fro,--and his courtiers were the whirlwinds and the storms. The Giant’s wife sat (9) his side; she had dark hair and eyes of icy, burning blue, “Welcome, little Poldo,” said the Giant; and his voice (10) like the wind in the treetops; “what seek you here?” 155“I seek some words of the Fairy Malvolia which (11) by the northeast wind at Prince Rolandor’s christening,” replied the poodle. “Whew, 00-00,” whistled the Giant of the North Pole. “If I have them, the words (12) yours.” A B Cc D 1__| had left has left have left will have left 2 | was to be seen been seen to _be saw 3_ [in at on of, 4 managed manage managing to manage 5__| eleven the eleventh eleventh an eleventh 6 [At In Out On 7__| wear wore: wearing, worn 8 make from made from making from will make from 9 jon among, with by 10 | sound sounded have sounded will sound 1 | 8 carried have been cartied | ore carried aw: ay had been carried awa: away away 12 | be are being were Test 19 Read the text below. | For each of the empty space (1-12) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
