Dear Mr. Jones,

I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from someone living as near as your next-door neighbor; but I have to raise a_______that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing.

You may have ______ that I have a line of apple trees running alongside the fence that _____our two gardens. You may also have taken pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence. And you may ______have noticed that my apple trees, so to speak, _____ the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.

It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to ______that interest. And it is not only natural, but, I acknowledge, quite legal, for them ______ to show that interest by picking all the apples that ______ on your side of the fence.

But to be plain with you, Mr. Jones, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, tear the ____ off the side of every one of my apple trees, and leave my trees looking as though a______had been fought on one side of them. I am, if anything, even more tired of ______ these fine autumn mornings, to find even the apples on ______ side of the fence much less in ______. I know this is the work of your children, ______ last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) chased them home.

While I am on the subject, I am at least ______ to you for keeping your bonfires on the far side of your garden this year. Last year neither I nor your children had any apples, because the smoke from your bonfires ______ all the flowers before the apples had time to form. I very much hope that ______ ----for the first time since I came to this village----I shall have my apples, and your children will have theirs and that the sight of the line of apple trees will be a ______ to us both.

____, I shall not express my displeasure in writing to you, but shall have to refer the matter to those capable of taking stronger  ____ .

Yours sincerely,

J. Smith
