At first I thought it was    2  that I could have    3  it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to    4  the taxi, so I knew I    5  it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered    6  it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was    7  dinner. Thinking about that    8  , I turned and walked back to the table    9  I had been sitting.      10  , there were several people sitting at the table at the time, so I called the    11  and explained to him that my wallet had    12  out of my pocket while I was sitting at that table a few minutes    13  . I had the waiter go    14  to the table to    15  if my wallet was on the    16  . While the waiter was looking    17  it, the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was    18  . I didn't want to get a lot of people involved (卷入) in the    19  , but I knew I had to get the wallet    20  . I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe (描述) the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I should report the    21  wallet to the police. I told him that I didn't want to get the police involved in it;    22  , I was in a hurry    23  I had an appointment (约会) with my doctor in a few hours. I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay my check. He told me not to    24  about that. He had me write down my name and    25  , and he said he would send me a bill.

“Rain Check” now means a second 13 at something. Often ,a rain check has nothing to 14 with rain.

Stores may offer “rain checks “ 15 they sell out all of a product a television set , for example 16 a special low price. After all the TV sets are 17 , the store gives rain checks to 18 who wanted to buy one. The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later, at the 19 low price, after the store receives some 20 from the factory.

“Rain Check”also is used in social 21 .It’s a way of 22 aninvitation, but for a later time.

You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are 23 to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there. You say ,“I would love to 24 you for dinner, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?”You are asking , in other 25 ,if you could join your friend for dinner at another time.
