Filled with sorrow, I didn’t notice the hardness of the chair I was sitting on. I was at the funeral of my 21 . The sadness was so great that I found it hard to 22 _ at times. Suddenly, I heard a 23 open and shut at the back of the church. Quick 24 hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a 25 and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears. “I’m 26 ,” he explained, though no explanation was 27 . After several eulogies (悼文), he leaned over and commented, “ Why do they keep 28 Mary by the name of ‘Margaret’?” “Because that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary,” I 29 . “No, that isn’t correct,” he insisted. “Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.” “That isn’t 30 this is,” I replied. “Isn’t this the Lutheran church?” “No, the Lutheran church is across the street. I believe you’re at the 31 funeral, sir.” The solemnness (庄严) of the occasion 32 with the realization of the man’s mistake amused me and I could not help 33 . I looked at the man seated beside me. He was laughing， 34 . I imagined Mother laughing. At the 35 “Amen”, we ran out of the door and into the parking lot. “I do believe we’ll be the 36 of the town,” he smiled. He said his name was Rick and that 37 he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong 38 for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral. A year after our meeting, we were 39 at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.
