Oh, I am so sad. I wish I had some ______________ (Au) or ______________ (Ag) so I could afford some new hardwood __________________ (F) in my house. Although my great aunt left me an inheritance when she passed away which she called _______________________ (Sb), I've spent it all and now I don't even have a _______________ (Ni) to my name. I tried to get a job in the comedy _______________________ (Bi) but I wasn't ____________________ (Si) enough. . All my hopes and dreams ______________ (Ar)! But if this world would just give me ________________________ (Hf) a chance, I would get a good job and buy a car with shiny _________________________ (Cr). Then I would cruise the streets at ____________________ (N) under the ______________ (Ne) lights. Or maybe I would get on a plane and fly to ____________________________ (Fr) far away from my ___________________ (Ho). Oh, I'm such a dreamer! Just like Dorothy in the "Wizard of ____________________ (Os)". Then again, if I was an ____________________ (In), I would live in harmony with the land and practice being a good ____________________________ (Sm). Yes, the hills really _____________________ (As) compared to the city which can get so monotonous and __________________ (B). Oh well, I guess I _____________________ (Li) in a nice house and I've ___________ (Pb) a pretty good life.
