In reading instruction there is a technique called the cloze procedure. A
teacher using this technique presents to a child a story in which words have
been omitted according to some pattern (for example, every sixth word). By
reading the passage and inserting the proper words, the child demonstrates or
develops her reading comprehension skills.

This story uses the cloze procedure. It omits a word from the end of each.
It's really nothing but a pain in the.
