Emma likes horror movies. She likes the fear and the blood.
Jerry, on the other hand, hates horror movies. He hates the fear and the blood. He likes love stories. He likes romantic couples and happy endings.
Emma hates romantic movies. She thinks they are silly and boring.
At first, they don’t know they have such different tastes in movies.
Emma arrives home, excitedly telling Jerry she has found a fantastic new movie they must see, exclaiming, “Oh, my goodness!”


Well, if you say so. Let’s go for it.”
Two hours later, Jerry is sitting in the movie theater, screaming. Five minutes later he is running to the bathroom to vomit.
“Oh, my goodness, Emma. I didn’t know this is what you meant when you said ‘amazing!’ I don’t think I can watch a movie like this again.”
“It’s OK, Jerry,” she says. “I guess you don’t like horror movies as much as I do.”
A few days later, Jerry comes home.
“Emma!” he calls out. “Listen! You have to come with me to the movies. There is this fantastic new movie! We must watch it.”
“Which one is it?”
“Sun, Love, and Hope.”
Emma thinks about it for a second, “Hmm. . . doesn’t it sound pretty silly?”
“No, not, Emma! It seems like a fantastic movie. We must watch it.” Jerry laughs at her.
“Well, if you say so. Let’s go for it,” Emma replied.
Two hours later Emma is sitting in the movie theater, completely bored. Five minutes later she is running away in tears.
“Oh, my goodness, Jerry. I didn’t think this is what you meant when you said ‘fantastic!’ I don’t think I could watch a movie like this again.”
Jerry looks at her and says, “Well, I guess you don’t like romantic movies as much as I do.”
“That’s right,” Emma agrees. “What are we going to do? Will we ever go to the movies together again?”
Jerry thinks about it for a moment and then answers, “I guess we will have to look for a horror love story. You know, a boy meets a girl, they fall in love, and then she eats him!”

This is a copy of original copy. Go over it and fill in the blanks with the right words from the box below.

Jerry and Emma are husband and wife. It’s summer, and Jerry’s birthday is approaching. Emma wants to give him a surprise for his birthday, but she wants it to be a surprise, so she must keep everything a secret.
But she has a big problem. If Jerry cannot know about her plan, how does she find out what to get him for his birthday?
She decides to use a secret technique. For a whole week, while she pretends to do other things, she actually listens very carefully for clues.
However, Jerry doesn’t really talk about this matter. A whole week passes with no mention of something he actually wants or needs!
“That’s it!” Emma thinks to herself. “Jerry’s birthday is tomorrow! I’m taking off the gloves!”
She calls her sister-in law, Mary, and they make a secret plan.
Mary will call Jerry, ask him what he would like to receive for his birthday, and Emma will listen to the conversation (without Jerry knowing it).
The scheme starts out as planned. Mary calls Jerry, and they have a nice chat about his upcoming birthday. Emma listens carefully from the other room.

Finally, she hears what he wants — a pair of sneakers!
“All right!” she whispers to herself.
Full of excitement, she runs out of the room. She is not so quiet, but who can blame her?
She rushes off to the shop and buys a pair of white sneakers, exactly Jerry’s size. She’s very happy. She will get him the present he wants, and it will be a big surprise!
Tomorrow is Jerry’s birthday. Emma waits during their special dinner at night.
Finally, the moment arrives. It’s time for Jerry’s present!
Emma brings in the box of sneakers, wrapped in colorful paper.
“Wow!” Jerry says with a big smile. “I wonder what it is.”
“Open it and see for yourself!” Emma replies happily.
He tears off the colorful paper and takes out the box. He opens the box.
“Oh, it’s a… pair of sneakers! What a lovely… surprise…”
Emma sees that something is wrong. “What’s the matter? You don’t seem so happy. Don’t you need a pair of sneakers?”
“Hmm.” Jerry takes a look at each shoe.
“Well, didn’t you tell Mary that you wanted a pair of sneakers?” Emma asks him.
“A pair of sneakers?” Jerry starts to laugh. “I said a pair of speakers! You seem surprised. Well, I guess I could use a pair of sneakers, too!”
