TIM'S STORY

One Friday lunchtime I had to change some money - as usual US dollars for roubles - and went to a kiosk in a building on the main pedestrianised street in the old part of Nizhny, Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street.

There was a queue of about half a dozen people also waiting to change their dollars, Now queuing is something that the English (1 ) ,.. (do) when they have to but we tend to think how to avoid the queue - usually find another place or later time.
 
This time I (2) ... (save) by a young man who (3) ... (suggest) that if I wanted to change a few dollars we (4) no (can) do it quicker outside in the street.

1(5) ... (follow) him outside and gave him the two $50 notes, While I (6) ... (wait) for the money I (7)... (tap) on the shoulder by another young man who (8) ... (explain) to me that it was a slightly dangerous practice to change money on the street.

1(9) ..0 (embarrass) by this warning, and now (10) no (want) to get out of this situation as soon as possible, I (t 1) '" (turn) to the chap and he returned the money immediately and went down the street. I stuffed the money in my pocket and (12) ... (go) in the other direction to find another place to change my cash, But when I (13) ... (take) the two notes out of my pocket 1(14) ... (see) two one dollar notes! I might have saved ten minutes but I (15)... (lose) nearly $100 instead and all because of my own stupid greed and impatience.

1(16) ... (still wonder) where to seek help when I (17) .., (see) the two chaps who (18) ... (take) my dollars. I (19)... (come) up to them and asked if they wanted me to explain the story to the militiaman who was a few metres away. They quickly handed me the two $50 notes - which this time I (20) ...
(check) before pocketing them.

I was so glad to have my greed rewarded with some great luck that I gave them back theIr two one dollar notes - so they could catch someone else out? I don't know why!

LIFE IS LIKE A CAFETERIA

A friend's grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe, After being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did, Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked.

"Start out at that end," she said, 'tust go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay."

" I soon learned that's how everything works in America," the grandfather told a f,iend, "Ufe's a cafeteria here, You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself."
