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.
Whenever anyone asks us how we   40 , Rick tells them, “Her mother and my aunt Mary introduced us.”

The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious ___11___. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ___12___ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name ___13___ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still ___14___.
