his front door in my mailbox.

  18   (fortunate), I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse,    19    was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found that the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door    20    the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of    21    Vernon would say when he came back.

I was just going to give up    22    I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed in under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb    23    and open the window.

I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone    24  

(shine) a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vernon’s neighbours. “What are you doing up there?” said the policeman.    25   (feel) like a complete fool, I replied, “I was just going to feed Mr Davies’ birds.”
