IF smiled and thought that even if he knew the  28  they faced, there was no way he could help!   29  , IF asked the man for advice. The man said, “Your conversation reminds me of an old   30  : IF and WHEN were planted, and nothing   31   .”

IF and WHEN both looked surprised and began to feel   32   of living their life for the “ifs” and “whens”. Finally they came to a(n)   33  : next time they met, there would be no “ifs” or “whens”; they would   34   talk about what they had  35  !
