The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not find 7 . He was very worried. "I can't find my ticket. I really bought a ticket 8 I got on the train," said the old man.
"I believe (相信)you bought a ticket. All right, you don't have to buy 9 one," said the conductor kindly. "But how can I know where I'm going? I can't 10 my station!" the old man said sadly.
