My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s 36   now but it wasn’t that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I 37 a rest before catching the train, so I bought a   38 and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long   39 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to   40 a place and went to get a cup of coffee.

It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my 55   .

The earliest men did not have much time for art; they faced many dangers, and hunting for food took 36 almost all their time . But after many thousands of years, 37 perhaps a million years or more, they became very good hunters, and   38 gave them a little free time which they could use for other things.
