They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏)our 38 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 39 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could 40 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 41 .
My wife had been changing her 42 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 43 of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the traveling, which she liked. You see someone has to take the pigeons a 44 way off and release them. Some of the 45 were really nice. I never traveled. I used to like to wait at home and see them 46 in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 47 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 48 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the blue 49 .Then I’d watch them 50 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I’d look at my watch and think,“My goodness, that’s a good 51 .”And I’d take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 52 what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would 53 up and say,“Has he arrived yet?”Then we would work out if we’d won 54 .
Then last year we had a 55 !One of them got some sort of flu(流行病)and died, then they all went down.(病倒). It was 56 , I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.
