Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost.I 36 it had slipped out my backpack as I was being 37 .While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into 　38 and I had no 　39 but to cancel my debit cards.

I’d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present,which was a bright red leather Cheeky Monkey purse,so probably not entirely 40 for a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!

Everyone I spoke to 41 I might get the purse back 42 but the money and vouchers in there would very likely disappear.I had 　43 written off the 　44 of the purse and was even considering whether to move on and go “grown-up”when I was seeking a 　45 .

I came home late the following night and my monkey purse was on my mat!I checked the contents and everything was 46 including anything of cash value.I was astounded when I read the 　47 note which read,“I came across this last night.It was too dark to 48 it then,so I came back tonight.

　　One morning when we had been riding for five hours, we came to a bridge where the railway cross a pond(池塘). For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木) under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we overbalanced. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as he approached(接近) the bridge and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.

　　“What’s up?”he cried out from the other side.

　　“I’m not riding over that thing. If I slip, I’ll be in there with that cow.”

　　“There’s nothing to it, I just did it, didn’t I?”

　　“You are stronger and taller. My feet don’t touch the ground. You do it for me!”

　　Mat said strength didn’t come into it and rode off. I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face, sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my shirt to my body. Try myself rather than wait for Mat to help. I rode back to get a good run-up and over I went. Mat was right: All difficulties were in the mind.

[　　]
