Поставьте глаголы в нужную форму: A cat and a tortoise were having an argument. 'I (be) very fast and you (be) very
slow,' (say) the cat. 'All right,' (reply) the tortoise, 'we (have) a competition?' 'Yes,
and I (win),' (say) the cat at once. 'We, (see),' (reply) the tortoise, (smile) to himself. 'I (bet) you that I (can) travel 100
metres in the same time as you.' The cat (agree), sure that he (can) travel much faster
than any tortoise. They (shake) hands, and the tortoise (lead) the cat to the top of a tall
tower. You see, the tortoise (learn) of the law of gravity at school. One day, his teacher
(speak) about gravity. 'What that (mean)?'the tortoise (ask). He was not usually curious
about things, but gravity (sound) to him like something a tortoise (can) make use of.'
'It (mean),' (say) the teacher, 'that two bodies of different mass (fall) at the same speed,
and (reach) the ground at the same time.' The cat (look) down anxiously at the ground
far below them. 'What we (do)?' he (ask) in a small voice. 'We (jump) when I (count)
three. 1 — 2 — 3, go!' They (jump) and, thanks to the law of gravity, they (fall) together
and'(hit) the ground at exactly the same moment. The cat (land) on his feet, but the
tortoise (land) on his back, (break) his shell and most of his bones. He (be) in hospital
for a long time afterwards. Moral: Gravity is strictly for cats
