Question

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.”

WHEN knew exactly how IF felt and said, “I too saw a   41   and I’ m going to register when I get   42   money.” WHEN then questioned IF, “What about the new job you were going to apply for?” IF answered, “I would have applied, but my  43  broke down. I couldn’t type my resume(简历).”

“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   .”
