Once upon a time the cat bit the mouse's tail off. “Give me back my tail,” said the mouse. And the cat said, “Well, I (give) _________ you back your tail if you fetched me some milk. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the cow. “The cat __________ (give / only)
me back my tail if I fetch her some milk.”

And the cow said, “Well, I would give you milk if you _________ (get)
me some hay. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the farmer. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow gives me some milk. And the cow ________ (only / give)
me milk if I get her some hay.”

And the farmer said, “Well, I would give you hay if you ________ (bring)
me some meat. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the butcher. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow ________ (give)
me milk.

And the cow will only give me milk if she ________ (get)
some hay.

And the farmer _______ (only / give)
me hay if I get him some meat.”

And the butcher said, “Well, I would give you meat if you __________ (make)
the baker bake me a bread. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the baker. “The cat ________ (give / only)
me back my tail if I fetch her some milk.

And the cow ________ (give / not)
me milk if I don't get her hay.

And the farmer will only give me hay if the butcher _______ (have)
some meat for him.

And the butcher will not give me meat if you _______ (bake / not)
him a bread.”

And the baker said, “Well, I ________ (give)
you bread if you promise never to steal my corn or meal.”

The mouse promised not to steal, and so the baker gave the mouse bread, the mouse gave the butcher bread. The butcher gave the mouse meat, the mouse gave the farmer meat. The farmer gave the mouse hay, the mouse gave the cow hay. The cow gave the mouse milk, the mouse gave the cat milk. 

And the cat gave the mouse her tail back.

But imagine what would have happened 

otherwise:

If the mouse ________ (promised / not)
never to steal corn or meal, the baker ________ (not/give)
the mouse bread.

If the baker _______ (not / give)
the mouse bread, the butcher _______ (refuse)
to give her meat for the farmer.

If the butcher ________ (refuse)
to give her any meat, the farmer ________ (not / be)
willing to give the mouse hay.

If the farmer ________ (not / be)
willing to give the mouse hay, the mouse ________ (not / receive)
milk from the cow.

If the mouse _______ (not / receive)
milk from the cow, she _______ (not / get)
back her tail.
