As I drove my blue Buick into the garage. I saw that a yellow Oldsmobile was   21   too close to my space. I had to drive back and forth to get my car into the   22   space. That left

  23    enough room to open the door. Then one day I arrived home   24  , and just as I turned off the engine, the yellow Oldsmobile entered its space － too close to my car,   25  . At last I had a chance to meet the driver. My patience had   26   and I shouted at her, “Can’t you see you’re not   27   me enough space” Park father over.” Banging(猛推) open her door into  28 ,

the driver shouted back: “Make me!”   29   this she stepped out of the garage. Still, each time she got home first, she parked too close to my   30  . Then one day, I thought, “What can I do?” I soon found   31  . The next day the woman   32   a note on her windshield(挡风玻璃):

I’m sorry mistress(女主人) shouted at yours the other day. She’s been sorry about it. I

                                                    Your neighbor,

                                                   Blue Buick

When I went to the   37   the next morning, the Oldsmobile was gone, but there was a

note on my windshield:

Dear Blue Buick,

My mistress is sorry, too. She parked so   38   because she just learned to drive. We will

park much farther over after this. I’m glad we can be   39   now.
