The train shook back and forth, its wheels making a loud noise on the tracks. Outside the window, the freezing cold of winter ruled. The carriage was filled with cold and  31  passengers.

Suddenly, a little boy  32  his way through the grown-ups’ legs and sat down by the window. Without being paid any attention, he looked all alone among the  33  grown-ups. What a brave child, I thought. His father  34  to stay by the door behind us. The train began to crawl into a tunnel. Then, unexpectedly, something very strange happened. The little boy slid down from his seat and leaned his hand  35  my knee.

 36 , I thought that he wanted to  37  me and return to his father, so I carefully helped him to stand up. But instead, he leaned forward and held his  38  up towards me. Oh, he wanted to say something to me,; I lowered my head to receive his  39 . Wrong again! What I did receive was a  40  kiss on the cheek.

The boy calmly returned to his seat and continued looking out of the window. I felt  41 . What had just happened? A child kissed a(n)  42  grown-up on the train! How could anybody want to kiss such a man that had so much beard? But that was not the end of the story. Soon the boy, encouraged by something inside, got around, and all my neighbors were certainly  43 . Nervous and a little surprised, we  44  a look in the direction of the father. Seeing our questioning  45 , he offered a clue as he got ready for his stop.

“My boy is so happy to be alive,” the father said. “He has been very sick.”

Father and son  46  into the crowd moving toward the exit. The doors closed and the train went on. On my cheek I could still  47  the child’s kiss — a kiss that triggered (触发) some soul searching inside me. “How many  48  kissing each other for the joy of being alive? How many even give much thought to the privilege (特权) of  49 ?”

The little kisser taught us a sweet but serious lesson — Be careful; don’t let yourself  50  before your heart stops!

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s  1now but it wasn’t that time.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I  2a rest before catching the train, so I bought a   3and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long   4to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to   5a place and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the   6seat. It was one of those   7young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright  8at the front, not so unusual these days. What did   9me was he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just    10down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me    11. then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly   12it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a   13piece , I felt more  14than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I  15it.

The boy gave me a   16look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone    17. That really made me feel silly, but it was    18when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I    19I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my  20.
