Last Friday my brother and I were driving home and had a fun conversation. So absorbed in our talk, my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a
31 , and we had no way to turn
32 . __
33 my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was greatly

After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 to give us. “No,” my brother said. “We were never
