So, looking around his   40  , he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.

When he got home, the little boy came   41   to him and was ready to play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn't play just now, but he led the little boy into the dining room, and taking out all the pieces of the map, he   42   them on the table. He   43   that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could   44   play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
