Last week me and some friends decided to go camping. Before we set off on our drive, we had arranged to go to the train station to      up our friend, Hugh. But on the way to collect him, we saw somebody by the side of the road looking for a lift. So, we pulled      to see where he was going. He said he was going to the train station and, as we were going there ourselves, we offered to drop him     there. In the car he told us he’d been standing there for nearly an hour and was about to give    waiting, so he was happy we had stopped: he was on his way to meet his cousin Hugh to go camping! Unbelievable! The chance of running      him like that must be a millionto-one. And the look on Hugh’s face when he saw us all in the car together was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!
