Open the brackets to make the story complete. Far away in a small country , there lived two artists - a stoat and a lion . They (be)1 both good painters , but each of them (think)2 that he (can)3 (paint)4 better . One day the lion (say)5 to the stoat , "I (paint)6 pictures for ten years next month . (Meet)7 me in the market square in a month at noon . Each of us (bring)8 a painting and the publik (be)9 the judge" . The stoat (agree)10. On the day of the contest the whole town (come)11 to the market place . The two paintings (hang)12 on a wall , each (cover)13 by a curtain . "I (show)14 my painting first ," (cry)15 the lion , and he (draw)16 back the curtain . The crowd (begin)17 (clap)18 . Suddenly some birds (fly)19 down to the painting and (try)20 to peck at the grapes in the picture . "I (win)21 ," (roar)22 the lion . "My painting (look)23 so real that it (fool)24 the birds ! And what (be)25 behind that curtain of yours ?" The stoat (smile)26 . "There (be)27 no curtain . It's my painting of a velvet curtain . The grapes in your picture (fool)28 the birds and my pictur (fool)29 you".
