One weekend in August Harry Black and his wife walked down
72、 to a river near their house. The sun was hot and they did not walk quickly. “Theres nothing new here，” Harry said. “Its always the same.

The railway station was near the police station. There was a hotel in the railway station. “Shall we have a drink in the hotel？” Harry said.
74、 Harry and his wife began to walk through the railway station to the hotel. They came to some lockers. Each locker had a number, a lock and a key. People put things in these lockers, and left them there for an hour or two. The people locked the doors and took the keys away with them.When she saw the

Harry took out the box and was about to open it when his wife uttered in a trembling voice, “Please dont. Lock it and go to th
79、e police station, please.” Hesitating for a while, Harry decided to follow his wife. However, just at this moment, another voice emerged. “Please put the box down, sir, and turn around.Give us the key to the number 164 locker please.”Harry turned quickly and two policemen were standing next to him.
80、The small box was still in his hands and the man standing beside the police seemed to be the owner. His wife was frozen to the spot with an unusual pale face. Harry was clear he must give an explanation, so he gathered his courage to open his mouth, “Im sorry. We found it in the railway station and I just want to check it. Were going to take the key to the police actually. Im sorry.” The owner nodded his head and said, “I know. I heard your wifes words. Anyhow, thank you.” Harry sighed with relief and thought “I will not desire anything new to happen any longer.”
