I met the guy who told me an amazing story．He was 21 Scotland on a motorbike by himself．One late afternoon he was on the road between Aberdeen and Elgin．He was travelling along, miles from any village, when he saw a really 22 girl standing by the road, hitchhiking (搭便车).Anyway, he stopped and said he would give her a 23 to Elgin．She got and drove off．He said he 24 having her on the back, as it was nice 25．But after a time he forgot that she was there．Suddenly he 26 but he realized that he couldn’t feel her knees 27 against him ! He 28 behind him but …she wasn’t there.
He said he felt frightened 29 his life ! He felt cold all over．He thought she must have 30 off the back．So he turned round and 31 back along the road．He didn’t find her．So he began to think that she might have been 32 by someone else.
Anyway, he drove on towards Elgin and didn’t see anyone 33 he came to a pub．He decided to 34 so that he could talk to someone and he thought he ought to tell 35 ．He went into the pub and talked to the barman．He told the barman what had happened．He said the barman didn’t seem to be at all 36 ．He just carried on 37 the glasses.
Then the barman said, “you are not the 38 person to come in here and tell the same 39．That girl you think you picked up 40 seven years ago… in a motorbike accident.”
