My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all family 36in town, I wanted a rest 37 catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the 38 coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long 39 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 40a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next 41 . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, 42 dark glasses and worn clothes, and 43 colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did 44 me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.
Naturally, I was unhappy. However, to avoid 45 —and really I was rather 46
about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 47 , then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could
48 believe it. 49 I didn’t dare to make an argument(争论). When he took a 50 piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece”. And I got it.
The boy 51 me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This 52 is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing(令人难堪的)enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to 53 . My face went red—as red as his hair—when I 54 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just 55 my newspaper.
