Long ago I came to the city near my hometown to find a job. I met all kinds of 41 and so I used up all my money soon.
One day, I 42 a bus quietly at dusk when most people got off work. Suddenly, a 43 cried loudly, “Someone has 44 my money!” I felt 45 , because his money was in my 46 . Some people suggested the bus be 47 to the police station, but some were against it 48 they were in a hurry to go back home. The whole bus was very 49 . The driver then 50 the bus by the road and turned on the lights to 51 the money. At that time, one passenger said, “Turn off the lights and give the thief a chance to take out the money.” Then the bus got 52 . When I was still struggling (斗争) in mind whether to take out the money or not, the lights were on again. There was no 53 on the floor. Someone said again, “Give him one more 54 .” Then the lights were off again. My heart kept beating fast. The lights were on again but they got the 55 result. The passengers were in heated discussion again. At that time, someone said again, “Give him the 56 chance!” Suddenly I felt 57 and took out all the money when the lights were off again.
For many years I have felt 58 to the one who gave me three chances to 59 my mistake. When the first and second opportunities come, you may not be prepared well or don’t have enough 60 to act. When the third opportunity comes you should know clearly what you should do.
