Question

閱讀理解。

It was three o’clock. A man was walking down a street in the north of England. He was wearing a dark suit and carrying a suitcase. His name was Terry and lived away from home for twenty years. In fact, he was in prison (監獄) abroad.

Terry was feeling totally depressed because everything in his hometown changed. The park where he used to play was now a car park. The house where he was born disappeared and in its place, ironically (具有諷刺意味地), was a bank. Terry wanted to have a cup of coffee in the old small restaurant where he used to go with his friend after school, but it became a fast food restaurant. He entered it, sat down, and asked for a cup of coffee. Then he felt sadder when he thought of what he saw.

While paying for the coffee, he found an old ticket in his wallet. It was for a pair of shoes he took to be repaired the day before killing someone 20 years ago. The shoe repairer was an old man then, so Terry was sure that he must be dead. But when he turned to the corner of the street, he couldn’t believe his eyes. The shop was still there! And it was the same shoe repairer! He looked about a hundred years old. Terry was so happy! Terry told him that he had lived in Australia for the past twenty years and that he forgot to pick up the shoes before he left England. The shoe repairer disappeared into the back of the shop. After ten minutes he came back.

“Yes!” said Terry, excitedly.

“I haven’t repaired them, ” the shoe repairer said slowly. “_____________”
