Did you hear what had happened to me last month? I went to Spain on business at that time. After I had taken my bags out of the car, I realized that I had forgotten my passport at home. I found a phone and telephoned home in hope that my wife hadn't left for work yet. A minute passed but nobody  answered. I thought she wasn't at home at the mo­ment. She had already left. Then I thought that my wife might be in the bathroom. When some seconds passed my wife would answer. I was right she was taking a shower while I was telephoning. She quickly jumped in her car and brought me my passport to the airport. She had arrived just in time.
