　　I flew to New York to take care of some business with Mr．Smith．But as soon as I arrived, I got sick, and could not meet with him．I had to call our appointment off．Then when I felt better I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away．I tried to telephone him during office hours, but he was busy．His secretary said that Mr．Smith would call me back, but he didn’t．I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and efforts than I wanted to spend．

　　A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr．Smith, and I called out to him．It was someone else．When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message which said that Mr．Smith had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business．I was sorry that I had missed seeing him, but I was really enjoying my sightseeing in New York．
