One morning, when I was 16, my father told me I could drive him to a remote village named Mijas, about 18 miles away, 36 that I take the car in to be serviced at a nearby 37. Having just learned to drive, and hardly ever having the 38 to use the car, I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas and 39 to pick him up at 4 P. M. ,then drove to a nearby garage and the car 40 in it. Because I had a few hours to 41, I decided to see a movie at a theater nearby. However, I was so 42 in the movie that I didn’t take any 43 of time. When the film was over, it was already 6 o’clock.
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I had been watching movies, and not let me drive again. A good idea 44 me. I drove up to Mijas until I saw Dad waiting 45 on the corner, I explained to him that it was because the car had needed some major repairs that I was 46 . I will never forget the look he gave me.
“I’m so disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me. Jason. When you did not 47 , I called the garage to ask if there were any problems , and they told me that you hadn’t 48 the car.
I can see a feeling of sadness 49 him.
“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. Now I am 50 that I have failed as a father. I am going to walk home now and contemplate 51 I have done all these years.”
“But Dad, it is 18 miles to home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.”
My 52 , my apologies and the rest of my utterances were of no use .Dad walked along the dusty roads silently in the dark, 53 thought. I pleaded all the way , telling him how sorry I was, but he simply 54 to pay any attention . Seeing my father in so much pain was the most painful experience that I have ever faced, 55 it was also the most successful lesson.

Mr. Grey was the manager of a small office in London. He lived in the country, and came up to work by train. He liked walking from the station to his office unless it was raining, because it gave him some exercise.
One morning he was walking along the street when a stranger stopped him and said to him, “You may not remember me, sir, but seven years ago I came to London without a penny in my pockets, I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money, and you lent me £ 5, because you said you were willing to take a chance so as to give a man a start on the way to success.”
