Our neighbour's son was getting married in 2009 at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were
invited. We immediately rushed out to a1, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a
little2 , but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would3a few pounds.
June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound; in fact I had4two. But I5a nice new
girdle (紧身内衣) would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we6once again at the store. I ran
in and told the clerk I needed a7large girdle. The clerk found the box with the8girdle marked 'LG', and
asked if I would like to try it on. 'Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I9try it on.'
The next morning was rather hot, one of those thirty-four degree days, I suppose, so I10to get dressed
until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to11a new girdle in a small size. Since it was
too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't12right without a girdle, a fight13in the hotel room
between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to1420 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That's it.
Finally my husband,15like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink
dress, which didn't16very well with my red face, and was ready to go.
Finally we got to the17. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass (大弥撒). I
turned to my husband and asked, 'What is a High Mass?' He shrugged his18.
19, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half
seconds-the priest (神父) was going to bless20except my girdle.
