The Time Machine

H. G. Wells

Looking closer at their faces, I saw some strange difference in their sweet prettiness. They all had the same

¹_______ hair and this came to a sharp end at the neck and below the ears. There was none growing on their faces and their ears were very small. Their little ²_______ came to a point and their eyes were large and gentle.

Because they didn't try to speak to me, but simply stood smiling and speaking ³_______ to each other, I began the conversation. I pointed to the Time Machine and to myself. Then, after thinking for a moment how to describe time, I ⁴_______ to the sun. At once, a pretty little figure dressed in purple and white did the same and then made the sound of ⁵_______.

For a moment I was very surprised, though the meaning of his movement was clear enough. The question had come into my mind suddenly: were these people ⁶_______ ?

I had always expected that people living about 800,000 years in the future would have much greater knowledge than us in science, art – everything.

But one of them had asked me a very simple question, which showed him to be on the level of intelligence of one of our five-year-old children. He had asked me, in fact, if I had come from the sun in a thunderstorm!

A feeling of sadness came into my mind. For a moment, I felt that I had built the Time Machine for no reason at all.
