IF and WHEN often had lunch together. Their conversation always  36 on the things they hoped to achieve and they loved to talk about them.  ]
This particular Saturday when they met for lunch, WHEN  37 IF wasn’t in a great mood（心情）. After they sat at the usual table  38 for them, WHEN asked IF, “You don’t seem your usual  39  self(样子)?” IF replied,“Yesterday I saw a course I wanted to take. If only I  40  the time.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve been thinking about looking for another job also,  44  I’ll wait and when the weather gets  45  I will look then. I hate this awful weather.”
The man sitting nearby heard them talking about when this and if that. When he couldn’t 46  it anymore, he went to them and said, “I think I know  47  you could solve your problems.”
IF smiled and thought that even if he knew the  48  they faced, there was no way he could help!   49 , IF asked the man for advice. The man said, “Your conversation reminds me of an old   50 : IF and WHEN were planted, and nothing   51  .”
IF and WHEN both looked surprised and began to feel   52  of living their life for the “ifs” and “whens”. Finally they came to a(n)   53 : next time they met, there would be no “ifs” or “whens”; they would   54  talk about what they had  55 !
