I’ve always loved pigeons．Some years ago I persuaded my wife to let me buy a few and start racing them myself．They cost us a lot of money and   1   and they spoiled our hobby a lot, but my wife never actually stopped me so I   2   carried on．I learned so much about pigeons that I could   3   a good racer anywhere and I did buy some beauties．My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of   4  ．You see people are prepared to pay big prices if they know that your pigeons are   5   big prizes．

   My wife had been changing her   6   to the pigeons over the past few years anyway．She was quite   7   of all the prizes we’d won．Then came the traveling, which she liked．You see someone has to take the pigeons a   8   way off and set them free．Some of the   9   were really nice and you could enjoy beautiful sceneries all the way．I never traveled．I used to like to wait at home and   10   them come in．They’d got this wonderful sense of   11   , which could bring them back home so quickly．They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes   12   storms or against the endless  13   ．Then I’d watch them  14   round and come down onto the landing shelf．I’d looked at my watch and thought, “My goodness, that’d be a good   15  ．” And took off the little leg ring and pushed it through the machine to   16   what time he’d arrived．Then my wife would   17   up and said, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won   18   ．

   Then last year we had a   19   ! One of my pigeons got some sort of flu and died, and then they all   20   one by one．It was terrible; I had to burn them all．We lost a fortune of course．
