A pirate was in a pub. He had a wooden leg, a hook instead of a hand and an eyepatch over one eye.<\/p>\n\n

The barman asked him: \u201cHow did you lose your hand?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI ______ a pistol when it accidentally ______ and it ______ my hand off,\u201d explained the pirate.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOh, my!\u201d said the barman. \u201cAnd how did you lose your leg?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI ______ aboard an enemy boat when I ______ into the water.<\/p>\n\n

A shark ______ my leg off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWow! And what about your eye? How did you lose that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI ______ an orange when the juice ______ into my eye.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand,\u201d said the barman. \u201cThat\u2019s not enough to lose an eye!\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAh,\u201d said the pirate, \u201cit was my first day with my new hook.\u201d<\/p>\n"},"overallFeedback":[{"from":0,"to":100}],"behaviour":{"mode":"selection","selectAlternatives":"alternatives","selectAlternativeRestriction":0,"spellingErrorBehaviour":"mistake","caseSensitive":false,"autoCheck":false,"enableSolutionsButton":true,"showSolutionsRequiresInput":false,"enableRetry":true,"enableCheckButton":true,"confirmCheckDialog":false,"confirmRetryDialog":false},"showSolutions":"L\u00f6sung anzeigen","tryAgain":"Wiederholen","checkAnswer":"\u00dcberpr\u00fcfen","submitAnswer":"\u00dcbermitteln","notFilledOut":"Bitte f\u00fclle alle L\u00fccken aus, um die L\u00f6sung ansehen zu k\u00f6nnen","tipLabel":"Tipp","spellingMistakeWarning":"\u00dcberpr\u00fcfen Sie die Rechtschreibung","scoreBarLabel":"Du hast :num von :total Punkten erreicht","confirmCheck":{"header":"Beenden?","body":"Ganz sicher beenden?","cancelLabel":"Abbrechen","confirmLabel":"Beenden"},"confirmRetry":{"header":"Wiederholen?","body":"Ganz sicher wiederholen?","cancelLabel":"Abbrechen","confirmLabel":"Best\u00e4tigen"}}
