Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #38878 Cloudless afternoon
Instructions
It    was    a    cloudless    afternoon    as    we    sat    at    the    front    of    the    crowd    and    watched    the    Gnaoua    dancing.    They    wore    embroidered    caps    fringed    with    cowrie    shells    which    like    bells    when    they    moved.    They    played    their    tall    drums    and    danced    in    the    square    on    most    afternoons.    'Where    do    they    come    from?'    I    asked    Mum.    'They    are    a    Senegalese    tribe    from    West    Africa.    The    King    of    Morocco    has    always    employed    them    as    his    personal    drummers.'    'Because    they're    so    beautiful?'    I    asked,    the    elegant    wrists    and    ankles    of    the    dancers    as    their    cymbals    rang    out    in    to    the    men's    drumming    hands.    'Maybe.'    Khadija,    a    solemn-faced    girl,    wriggled    through    the    crowd    and    down    on    the    floor    next    to    me.    'Hello,    Khadija,'    my    mother    said,    noticing    her,    and    Khadija    smiled    a    big    gap-toothed  .    She    touched    my    arm    and    pointed    through    the    crowd    across    the    square    to    where    a    group    of    people    were    beginning    to  .    'Hadaoui,'    she    said    and    began    to    move    towards    them,    looking    over    her    shoulder    to    see    that    I    was    following.
