Once upon a time the cat bit the mouse's tail off. “Give me back my tail,” said the mouse. And the cat said,
“Well, I (give) ___1___ you back your tail if you fetched me some milk. But that's impossible to do for a
little mouse like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the cow. “The cat (give / only) ___2___me back my tail if I fetch her some
milk.”
And the cow said, “Well, I would give you milk if you (get) __3____me some hay. But that's impossible to
do for a little mouse like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the farmer. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow (give)
___4___ me some milk. And the cow (only / give) __5____ me milk if I get her some hay.”
And the farmer said, “Well, I would give you hay if you (bring) ___6___ me some meat. But that's
impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the butcher. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow (give)
___7___ me milk. And the cow will only give me milk if she (get) __8____ some hay. And the farmer
(only / give) ___9___me hay if I get him some meat.”
And the butcher said, “Well, I would give you meat if you (make) ___10___ the baker bake me a bread.
But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the baker. “The cat (give / only) __11____ me back my tail if I fetch her
some milk. And the cow (give / not) ___12___ me milk if I don't get her hay. And the farmer will only give
me hay if the butcher (have) ___13___ some meat for him. And the butcher will not give me meat if you
(bake / not) ___14___him a bread.”
And the baker said, “Well, I (give) __15____ you bread if you promise never to steal my corn or meal.”
The mouse promised not to steal, and so the baker gave the mouse bread, the mouse gave the butcher bread.
The butcher gave the mouse meat, the mouse gave the farmer meat. The farmer gave the mouse hay, the
mouse gave the cow hay. The cow gave the mouse milk, the mouse gave the cat milk. And the cat gave the
mouse her tail back.
But imagine what would have happened otherwise:
If the mouse (promised / not) ___16___ never to steal corn or meal, the baker (not/give) __17____ the
mouse bread.
If the baker (not / give) __18____ the mouse bread, the butcher (refuse) __19____ to give her meat for the
farmer.
If the butcher (refuse) __20____ her any meat, the farmer (not / be) ___21___willing to give the mouse
hay.
If the farmer (not / be) ___22___ willing to give the mouse hay, the mouse (not / receive) __23____milk
from the cow.
If the mouse (not / receive) __24____ milk from the cow, she (not / get) __25____ back her tail.
