Paul___(not value) expensive presents, he just takes them for granted.
He__(give) a cool iPod for his thirteenth birthday. When I was hirteen, I___(do)anything for such a gadget, but Paul didn't seem to be impressed. His iPod lasted for only a few days.

Someone had called Paul when he ___(take)a bath and he was careless enough to drop the iPod into the bath.
