EXERCISE 6
Fill the gaps in the story with missing words:
kudjo and Luna were so anxious about the ***** that they completely forgot about the letters and the strange *****, which they had taken from the *****. A day later they were ***** and chatting in Kudjo’s room when Luna suddenly caught sight of the backpack and remembered the *****. She screamed with excitement, rushed to the bag, ***** it, took out the pile of letters and the box and ***** them to Kudjo. They decided to start from the box, but to their great disappointment, they didn’t manage to ***** it. They put it aside and opened the first letter. There was nothing special in it. It was written by a dog who moved to some old ***** after the death of a relative. Kudjo and Luna had read a couple of boring letters more and were about to stop when suddenly they spotted the word «ghost’. They went on to read about the ***** of a dog that had been looking for some treasure for ages. At this moment Kudjo and Luna realised that they were reading the story of Luna’s great-great-great-great-great *****, the dog that mysteriously ***** through a puzzle. Now, they knew what exactly had happened to that lady dog. But what about the treasure? Where to look for it? Where is this ghost now? What house is it haunting? What is there in the ***** and how to open it?
What ***** happen if they opened the box? What would they do if they ***** that ghost? Would it do any ***** to them? A lot of new questions but no *****.

1 A lot of weird and spine-chilling things had been happening to me every day since I moved to my aunt’s house.
2 The very first night I woken up by an ice-cold touch and saw the shape of a dog standing very close to me. Just standing and gazing into my face.
3 I have woken by it every night since then. What would you do if you would be me?
4 I’d tried to escape on several occasions but I have brought back every time. I have a gut feeling that if I’ll try to do it again, something terrible will happen to me. Would you try?

Translate the story:
Куджо и Луна были немного расстроены. Они так долго и тяжело пытались добраться до этих писем, но даже с их помощью не смогли раскрыть тайну семьи Луны. Единственное, что они узнали, это то, что таинственная пра-пра-пра-пра-прабабушка еще долго продолжала обитать в своем доме, но уже как призрак, который не успокоится, пока не найдет свое сокровище. Значит, чтобы снять семейное проклятие,
