　　What had happened to me that day is disappointing. Last Saturday I wanted to go to St. Louis to visit an international exhibition of modern art, The train I was travelling on was already half an hour late. I had planned to arrive in Chicago at 7：00 in time to catch the 7：50 train to St. Louis. But there was no hope of that now. I explained the situation to the conductor who advised me to get off before Union Station and take a taxi. When the time came, he even helped me with my luggage. He wished me good luck as I jumped off. And a few minutes later I was going towards Union Station in a taxi. It was almost 7：50 when we stopped outside the station. I paid the driver quickly, carrying my bags and hurried inside. The St. Louis train was all I had time to say to the first porter I saw. You can imagine my disappointment when he pointed to a train that was just moving out of the station.
