“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can   41  on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll   42  that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”

Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had designed myself for a 43  announcer(播音员). So I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got   44  every time.

In one station, a kind lady told me that   45  stations wouldn’t risk employing a person without   46  since I had just graduated. “Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.

I returned to Dixon,   47  I had finished my high school education and had   48  in the school football team. My father said that our town had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to   49  its sports department(部门). The job sounded just   50  for me but I wasn’t hired.

My   51  had shown as if by design. “Everything happens for the best,” Mum   52  me. Dad offered me his car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired a/an   53 .   54  I left his office, my frustration boiled over(发怒).I asked aloud, “  55  can a fellow get to be a sports announcer   56  he can’t get a job in a radio station?”

Suddenly, I heard the director   57 ­.“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to   58  an imaginary game.

It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was   59  and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   60  Saturday.

   The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good   36   in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I   37   to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be   38   ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was   39   . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to  40   that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,  41   , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   42   city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he   43    to tell me all about his friend.

   His friend’s main  44   in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he  45   had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming  46   , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several   47   like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He     48   that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he   49   but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me   50   my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 51  his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   52  who had a tennis court in his backyard. I  said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had   53   the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.

   “Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He   54   and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my  55    to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.
