One day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me he had a good in Chicago and he wondered if I to know him.For a moment, I thought he might be ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was .I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to think that all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But, , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very city.He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to the subject and talk about something else.But he was silent for a few minutes, and then began to tell me all about his friend.
His friend's main in life seemed to be tennis, and he had his own tennis court.A lot of people have swimming pools, yet only two people have private tennis court and his friend in Chicago was one of .I told him that I knew several people like that, my brother, a doctor in California. He __ that maybe there were more private courts in the country he realized, Then he asked me where my brother in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had the house next to my brother's house.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He and said,“Yes. Would your brother's name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my to laugh.“Yes,” I replied.
