Grandpa’s hobby was making birdhouses. He always said that he (21) ____________________(NEED) a hobby to fill his free time. Grandpa’s workshop was full of all kinds of tools. There (22) ____________________(BE) a big table, hammers, nails, paints, and what not.
And all the tools (23) ____________________(KEEP) carefully in their places. That was Grandpa’s number one rule. The (24) ____________________(TWO) rule was, “Never buy a new tool if the old one still works.”
In the workshop, when he (25) ____________________(MAKE) the birdhouses, I asked him lots of questions about birds. He (26) ____________________(KNOW) a lot about them! He could tell one bird from another by their songs and footprints.
I was surprised that Grandpa (27) ____________________(NOT/PAINT) the birdhouses in bright colours. He explained to (28) ____________________(I) that birds prefer natural colours that make their houses more difficult to notice and, for that reason, safer.
