8 Kiki talks too much
They all crowded into the dimly lighted shed. They gazed joyfully1 at the piles of things on theshelves.
‘Biscuits! Tongue! Pineapple! Sardines2! Milk! Gosh, there’s everything here!’ cried Jack3.

‘Before we go, let’s have a look and see if we can find any papers or documents that will tell ussomething about these mysterious airmen,’ said Philip. But although they hunted in every corner,and even under the pile of sacks, they could find nothing.
‘I wonder what they did with that crate5 they had in the plane,’ said Jack. ‘We haven’t found thatanywhere. I’d like to have a
