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 (可笑的) 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 a 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 (巧合) 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.
