I work as a postal letter carrier in Charlotte. One day several years ago, I drove up to a 41 . Christy, the young divorcee (离了婚的人) who lived there, was waiting by the roadside. She said that she had a 42 to tell me.
About six months 43 it seemed that I had 44 a letter to her which had her street 45 on it but was addressed to another house with the 46 number on a different street in the neighborhood. She decided to 47 the letter at the correct house.
It turned out that the letter had been 48 for Johnson, who happened to be 49 . They talked for a little while, and later on he 50 . Then they started dating and had been going 51 together ever since.

A few months later a(n) 53 sign went up in Christy’s yard, and then wedding 54 were sent out. Soon the house was sold, the wedding happened, 55 Christy, with her kids, moved into Johnson’s house.
A few months later, I saw a For Sale sign in 56 yard. I feared the 57 might be in trouble, so I made up a(n) 58 to go to their door and 59 on them.
Christy opened the door, smiled broadly, and pointed to her huge stomach “We’re having twins!” she said, “This house won’t be big enough, so we have to 60 .”
