Tom used to work at a little railway station. He was very 36 about “rules”. For 37, he never smoked in a nonsmoker (不准吸烟的车厢), nor 38 a passenger to do so.

He was there for 50 years and then he had to 39. He asked for a part of an old railway carriage(车厢)which, he thought, would remind him of the 40 days he had spent at the station.

About a week later, a carriage was 41 and was taken into Tom’s back 42. Tom worked at it, just as he had worked at the station. It was 43 and painted, and in a week 44 so it looked very nice.

One day, I went to visit old Tom. It was a 45 day for a visit. It was raining hard. I walked to the front door and 46, but there was no answer. However, the door wasn’t 47, so I opened it and went in. He was 48 to be seen. I thought he 49 be in that old railway carriage. So I went to the back. Sure enough, he 50 there, but he wasn’t sitting in the carriage; he was outside, on the step of the carriage, 51 his pipe. His head was 52 with a sack and the rain was running down his 53. “Hello, why on earth are you sitting here? Why don’t you go inside the 54 out of the rain?”

“Can’t you see?” said Tom. “The carriage they sent me was 55.”
