When his master sat down to eat he quickly noticed the missing leg and asked what had (b) happened (use a synonym) to the other leg. The cook told him that the duck had one leg only. The master was not to be fooled. He said that there was no such thing as a one-legged duck. The cook (c) insisted (use an antonym) that this duck really had only one leg. The master was very (d) annoyed (use a synonym) with the (e) stubbornness (use a synonym) of the cook and threatened to (f) fire (use an antonym) another man for his job. (g) Right (use a synonym) at that moment, the cook looked out of the window and saw some ducks resting outside in the courtyard. One of the ducks was standing on one leg and had the other leg folded inside. He drew the attention of his master and showed him that some ducks did (h) indeed (use a synonym) have one leg. The master clapped his hands loudly which (i) startled (use a synonym) the duck. It put down its other leg as well and ran off. The master looked at the cook. The (j) cook (use a synonym) replied quietly that his master was right after all if he had known this trick he would have clapped his hands too before cooking to bring out the other leg. The master wasn't very (k) amused (use an antonym) by the ready (l) wit (use a synonym) of the cook and said that he would (m) forgive (use a synonym) him this time (n) because (use a synonym) it was the first time. But he did not want to see any more one-legged ducks on his table in future.
