My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but is wasn’t at that time.

Last Friday, after___1___ all family shopping in town, I wanted a rest___2__catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the____3___coffee shop—that cheap, self-service place with long tables to__4___. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep__5___,and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in___6__. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters,___7__ dark glasses and torn__8___,and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What _9____surprise me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.

Naturally, I was annoyed.__10___, to avoid trouble---and really I was rather__11___ 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 closely. Then he took___12___piece of my chocolate. I could __13___believe it. Still I didn’t dare to__14___ an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more__15__ than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.

The boy__16___me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shout out, “This__17___ is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing(令人难堪的)enough, but it was__18___when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as_19____---when I

realized I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just___20__ my newspaper.
