There were only a few people 3 , and I took out my wallet to find the receipt(收条) for my case.
The receipt seemed not where I had 4 it. No matter how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.
When my 5 came. I explained the situation sorrowfully 6 the assistant.

I told him it was an old brown-looking object no different 9 the many cases I could see in his office. The assistant then told me to 10 a list of what was 11 in the case. If they were 12 , he said, I could 13 the case away. I tried to remember all the things I had hurriedly 14 into the case and 15 them down as they came to me.
