“Where is the bus?” I asked myself．I was going to be late 1 the manager wasn’t going to be 2 ．“Thank God, here it is!” The bus came round the corner and I got on．Ten minutes later I was walking into the 3 where I work．“Twenty-five past nine．I 4 the manager doesn’t notice．” But no 5 !
“Smith! ” shouted the manager．“Late again．What’s your 6 this time?” “I’m afraid the bus was late, Mr Brown．” “ 7 up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, get to business at the counter．We’ll be opening in a few minutes．”
My first customer was a pretty girl 8 a red dress．Behind her was a young man of about 25．He seemed very nervous, and every few seconds he looked towards the main 9 ．The girl asked about opening a bank account(账户)．I gave her the necessary 10 and she walked out． 11 , I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 12 brown paper．Turning to my next customer, I was terrified to see a gun sticking out of his coat．The next moment a loud noise 13 my ears．Everything went black．I was falling．After 14 seemed a very long time, I opened my eyes and found myself in bed! 15 shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house．As usual the 16 wasn’t on time, and I arrived at 9∶25．
“Smith!” the manager cried out in a 17 like thunder．“Late again! Go and start work at once!” To my 18 , the first customer was a girl in a red dress and 19 her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper．The dream 20 the surprise of my life!
One day, Raul was miles away from the small ranch(牧场)house in a large valley． 1 seemed to be all right, yet he felt strange and somewhat uneasy．The wind had picked up, and angry, dark clouds 2 across the sky．He could smell the rain coming．And it did． 3 the lightning flashed through the clouds, nearly 4 Raul．The thunder(雷声)was so loud that he buried his 5 in his hands and rubbed his eyes．Then he heard it．Hoof beats(蹄声)．He 6 ．There before him stood a tall, white 7 ．An old man stared down at him from its back．
“Wh-wh-who are y-y-you?” asked Raul．“My name is Gray Cloud, ” the old man answered 8 ．“Come with me．”
Raul followed on his horse．A 9 feeling came over him．All 10 them the rain was pouring down, 11 not a drop fell on them．They seemed to be 12 back toward Raul lost track of time．Then all at once he found 13 at the ranch gate．The old man turned his horse, 14 his hand, and smiled．Lightning flashed again．The old man and his horse were 15 ．
Raul’s father ran out across the yard to 16 him．“We have been 17 sick about you．Are you okay? Hurry．Let’s get in out of the 18 ．”
“Wait,” said Raul．“Have you ever heard of an old man called Gray Cloud?”
“Can’t say I…wait．I 19 my great-grandfather used to tell stories about a man called Gray Cloud．He died a long time ago．They say he was 20 by lightning during a terrible thunderstorm．Why do you ask?”
