Henry‘s job was to examine vehicles which crossed the frontier to make sure that they were not smuggling anything into the country.Every evening -1- at weekends,he would see a factory worker coming up the hill towards the frontier,-2- a bike with a big load of straw on it.When the bike -3- the frontier,Henry used to stop the man and -4- him take the straw off and -5- it.Then he would examine the straw very carefully to see -6- he could find anything,after which he would look in all the man‘s pockets -7- he let him tie the straw again.The man would then put it on his bike and go off down the hill with it.Although Henry was always -8- to find gold or jewellery or other valuable things -9- in the straw,he never found -10- ,even though he examined it very carefully and thoroughly.He was sure that the man was -11- something,but he was not -12- to imagine what it could be.
Then one evening,after he had looked -13- the straw and emptied the factory worker‘s pockets -14- usual,Henry -15- to him,"Listen.I know that you are smuggling goods -16- this frontier.Won‘t you tell me what it is that you‘re bringing into the country so successfully.I‘m an old man,and today‘s my last day on the -17- .Tomorrow I‘m going to -18-.I promise that I shall not tell -19- if you tell me what you‘ve been smuggling."The factory worker did not say anything for -20-.Then he smiled,turned to Henry and said quietly,"Bikes."
