It was of those days everything ..went.. wrong and when it was no fun
at all to be Eric. As a rule, it was ..pretty.. nice to be Eric. He was the
darling and ..eye.. of the whole family, and they spoiled him for all they
were worth. But there were days when things .... going wrong. Then you
were scolded by Mommi because you had worn a hole in your trousers, and
Betti would say, "Blow your nose, child, and Daddi ..would. make a fuss
because you were late coming home from school. "Why do you ..hang. around
the street corners?" asked Daddi. " Hang around the street corners?" Of
course. Daddi didn't know that Eric had... met a dog - a nice, beautiful,
friendliy dog, who had ..sniffed.. at Eric and wagged his tail and looked as if
he would very much like to be Eric's own dog. If Eric had had any .choice.. ,
it would certainly have become his at once. But the ..difficulty. was that Daddi
and Mommi did not .want.. a dog in the house. And also a lady had suddenly
appeared, ..shouting. , " Rickey,come here!" and then Eric knew that this dog
could never .belong.. to him. "It doesn't look as if I'll .ever.. have a dog as
long as I live," said Eric bitterly that day when everything seemed go
wrong. "You, Mommi - you've got Daddi, and Bobbi and Bettialways stick
..together. ; but I - I've got nobody." в словах не хватает букв
