In my early 20s, after a year and a half in England, and four months in France, I returned to the United States and got a job at a camp in northern Virginia. My 30 ______ that summer was Dan from Mississippi, and I am from Rhode Island. We worked together with a group of boys from 12 to 14 years old. I've always been a bit untidy, but Dan was 31 ______ and clean, even after a night in the woods with our campers. We could not have been more different, but we got on because we shared the same 32 ______ of humor. At the end of the summer, a few of us went to 33 ______ a cave in West Virginia and got stuck in the cave for the night. It wasn't as dramatic as it sounds. The park rangers had told us to stay there if anything happened. They knew where we were going, and when we should have been back. 

Dan hurt his right foot badly. So we had to 34 ______ the night in the cave. Food and water were not a problem, but we turned off our lights to save power. In the distance, we could hear the sound of running water.

To 35 ______ the time, we told stories. That night in the cave we moved from one family story to another. As the night wore on, I remembered more and more. I was not alone-the cave, the blue light and the flowing water released stories and memories that we had never revealed to anyone. It was as if a river of stories had started flowing in each of us. When the rangers came the next morning, we didn't want to 36 ______. «Can't we just tell a few more stories?» In the cave, that night, I became a storyteller.

Melissa dropped into a chair in front of her manager's cherry veneer desk. "I don't know how people with kids can do this job," the 25-year-old radio advertising sales rep said.

Her boss, Laurie Thompson, had heard such self-doubt before. Her six salespeople at Connoisseur Media in Erie often popped into her office to give vent to their 30 ______ about a tough day of cold-calling.

Laurie nodded. She didn't have children, 31 ______ herself instead to a sales career, running marathons, cycling, sailing and spending time with her husband.

"I don't think I'll ever have kids, though that would really disappoint my parents," Melissa said. 

"Why? Because you're 32 ______ only child?" Laurie asked. Melissa said her parents would be disappointed because they 33 ______ for grandkids. Then she added, almost as an afterthought, "I was adopted."

From the time she was tiny, Melissa knew that she was adopted. Her new parents were always open with their daughter about where she came from. Along the way, Melissa grew 34 ______ to questions from people who had learnt she was adopted. So she wasn't at all 35 ______ about answering her boss that afternoon.

"Have you ever had a desire to meet your real parents?" Laurie asked.

"Not really," Melissa said. "It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I haven't got around to it. And I don't feel like I'm missing anything. My parents are wonderful."

Melissa laughed and was about to leave when Laurie asked her another question. "When were you born?"

"April 14, 1981." Then, feeling she'd taken 36 ______ enough of her boss's time, Melissa said goodbye and headed home.

Melissa dropped into a chair in front of her manager's cherry veneer desk. "I don't know how people with kids can do this job," the 25-year-old radio advertising sales rep said.

Her boss, Laurie Thompson, had heard such self-doubt before. Her six salespeople at Connoisseur Media in Erie often popped into her office to give vent to their 30 ______ about a tough day of cold-calling.

"Why? Because you're 32 ______ only child?" Laurie asked. Melissa said her parents would be disappointed because they 33 ______ for grandkids. Then she added, almost as an afterthought, "I was adopted."
