Each group of words has one four letter prefix that fits in front of them to form another word or phrase. Can you figure out which word it is for each group?
Complete the words so that the last 2 letters of the first word are the first 2 letters of the second word, and the last 2 letters of the second word are the first 2 letters of the third word, etc. The last 2 letters of the tenth word are the first 2 letters of the first word, thus completing the circle.

Once upon a time there was a dad and 3 kids. When the kids were adults, the dad was old and Death came to take the dad. The first son, who became a lawyer, begged Death to let the dad live a few more years. Death agreed. When Death came back, the second son, who became a doctor begged Death to let his father live a few more days. Death agreed. When Death came back the third son, who became a priest begged Death to let the dad live till that candle wick burned out and he pointed to a candle. Death agreed. The third son knew Death wouldn’t come back, and he didn’t. Why not?
The third son went over and blew out the candle after Death left because the son said “till the candle wick burns out”, not “till the candle burns out”.
