The books in David’s schoolbag felt like bricks as he ran down the street. What he wanted to do was to play basketball with Eric, 　41　 his mother told him he would have to return his sister’s books to the library first.

He had 　42　 set foot in a library and he wasn’t about to do so today. He would just 　43　　　 the books in the outside return box. But there was a 　44　 ; it was locked.

He went into the building, only a few minutes 　45　 closing time. He put the books into the return box. And after a brief 　46　 in the toilet, he would be on his way to the playground to　 　47　 Eric.

David stepped out of the toilet and stopped in 　48　 --the library lights were off. The place was 　49　 . The doors had been shut. They 　50　 be opened from the inside. He was trapped　 -- in a library!

He tried to 　51　 a telephone call, but was unable to 　52　 . What’s worse, the pay phones were on the outside of the building. 　53　 the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found it.

54　 he could see. David wrote on a piece of paper: “ 55　 ! I’m TRAPPED inside!” and stuck it to the glass door. 　56　 , someone passing by would see it.

He was surprised to discover that this place was not so unpleasant 　57　 . Rows and rows of shelves held books, videos and music. He saw a book about Michael Jordan and took it off the shelf. He calmed down, settled into a chair and started to 　58　 .

He knew he had to 　59　 , but now, that didn’t seem to be such a 　60　 thing.

A 31 　thing happened 32 me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day 33 I drove to go for a look in the country.

　 On the way back home, my 34 stopped. It was out of gas on a 35 road far from a town! I decided to walk until I found someone 36 could sell some gas. I had walked almost a mile 37 I finally found a house near the 38 I was glad to see it because it was getting dark.

　 I knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair 39 . She said, “I’ve been 40 for you here for a long time. Come in. 41 is almost ready.”

　 “But I only came for some gas,” I answered. I couldn’t 42 what she was talking about.

　 “Oh, Alfred! Gas? You 43 tea,” said she.

I quickly 　44 that my car was out of 　45 , but she didn’t seem to listen to me. She just kept 46 me Alfred and talking about how long it had been 47 she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was anxious to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I 48 .

　 Fortunately, there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed. When I told the man about my 　49 , he said, “Oh, that’s Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She’s strange, but she wouldn’t 50 anybody. She is still waiting for the man she was going to marry thirty years ago. The day before their wedding he left home and never came back because of the war.”
