My Grandpa Will Pay the Bill

   Charlie had to return to his hometown．He   1   all his money in dancing and traveling．He got into trouble and had little money to pay for his   2   ．He wrote a letter to his parents，but they didn’t answer．He   3   some money from his friends and bought a ticket for the train．

    Now the young man knows his father is ill   4   and his mother has to look after him there．They didn’t   5   him at all．Their small shop was，of course，closed．

   “We’ve paid a lot of money for the   6   ，”said Charlie’s father．“I can’t give you any money now．Open our shop tomorrow and it’ll be   7   to you，I think．”

  The young man thought it reasonable(有道理的)and agreed．He   8    four pairs of shoes and got some money on the first day．The next morning，a very   9   girl came in the shop．He watched her carefully while she was   10   a pair of shoes．And then she asked，“How much are they?”

   “A kiss a pair，”   11    the smirking(嬉皮笑脸的)young man．“That’s fair(公平的)，”said the girl．“I’ll   12   two pairs．”

    Charlie brought two pairs of shoes and handed them to her．And then he   13  the counter(柜台)and came up to the girl．She wasn’t   14   at all．Pointing to an old man who was standing outside，she said．“Wait a minute．My grandpa will pay the   15   ！”

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in the town. I wanted to have a rest before catching the rain. I __1__ a newspaper and some chocolate and __2__ into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to __3__ at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, __4__ the newspaper and the chocolate on the table and then went to get a cup of coffee.
　　When I came back with the coffee, There was someone __5__ in the next seat. __6__ was a boy, with dark glasses and old clothes, and __7__ bright red at the front. He had started to eat my chocolate!
　　Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn’t want to have any __8__. I just read the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me in __9__.Then he took a __10__ piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.
　　The boy gave me a strange look, then __11__ up. As he left, he shouted out, “There’s something __12__ with that woman!” Everyone looked at me, __13__ I didn’t want to quarrel with the boy, so I kept quiet. I did not realize that I had __14__ a mistake until I finished my coffee and was ready to __15__. My face turned red when I saw my unopened chocolate under the newspaper. The chocolate that I had been eating was the boy’s!
