An unexpected gift I was 17 years old *when / while* I moved to my village. Every day I ______ the same way home from school and every day I ______ an old man. He *was/were* sitting quietly under the same tree. He always ______ miserable and children ______ at him. During the next few weeks I *started / was starting* to say hello when I saw him under the tree and later we actually became good friends. I ______ him about the exams I was taking at school and he told me all about the job he ______ as a conservationist. I *have / must* ______ about the environment, but thanks to him, I started to think about it more carefully. Anyway, one day he wasn't there. And he wasn't there the next day. What *was going / went on?* I went to his house to look for him. Unfortunately, I found out he died the day before. Then, a few weeks later when I *wasn't / was walking* home from school, a young woman came and gave me a letter. It was from the old man's wife. He told her about our conversations and that he felt cheerful when he was talking to me. He decided that he *was wanting / wanted* to give me a gift. He *gave / was giving* me his special bracelet. He ______ it off. Now I do the same. The old man is a friend I'll never forget.
