The next day,the clerk got back from his office at about one o'clock in the morning.As u__5__,he took off one shoe and threw it on the floor.But he suddenly remembered the promise he had made.So he put the second shoe s__6__on the floor and went to sleep.An hour later,he was woken up by the lodger who was knocking on his door.“Please,please drop the other shoe,”the lodger said.“I've been w__7__for a long time for you to drop it.As soon as you do so,I can go to sleep.”
