used to it. I don"t know his name.
I know he"s average in appearance, wears a gray suit, and has a common face. I met him five years ago
one hot morning when I was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper. Suddenly I
felt something touch my head. It was the very same man who now, as I"m writing, keeps hitting me,
mechanically (机械地) and impassively, with an umbrella.
On that occasion I turned around filled with anger. He just kept on hitting me. I asked him if he was crazy,
he didn"t even seem to hear me. Then I threatened to call a policeman. Calmly, cool as a cucumber, he stuck
with his task. After a few moments of hesitation, and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude, I
stood up and hit him on the nose. The man fell down, but he immediately got back on his feet, obviously with
great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella. His nose was bleeding
and, at that moment, I felt sorry for him. I felt regret for having hit him so hard. After all, the man wasn"t
exactly hitting me; he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella, not causing any pain at all. Of course,
those taps were extremely bothersome. As we all know, when a fly lands on your forehead, you don"t feel any
pain; what you feel is annoyance. Well then, that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time
after time.
Convinced that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape. But the man followed me, wordlessly
continuing to hit me. So I began to run (I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do). He took
off after me, trying to land a blow. The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to force him to
run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there.

with our friends in the north Georgia mountains. "Don"t you want to come along?" Julie asked her 15-year-old
son, Mark. "Enjoy the leaves by yourselves," he told her. "I"ll be fine staying home by myself." Julie and I drove
there in my car after work on Friday. On Saturday morning we hiked along the mountainside and enjoyed the
beautiful colors. All of a sudden, I had a terrible feeling. "Go home," a voice seemed to urge me. I couldn"t
explain it, but I didn"t want to be here any more. I just wanted to go home. "Carol, calm down. You"re being
silly," Julie said. But the urge just got stronger. "I"ve got to leave," I said. "If you want to stay, you can get a
ride back with everyone else tomorrow." Julie stood up. "No, I"ll go with you," she said. We almost didn"t talk
during the two-hour trip back. I felt very guilty. Finally, we pulled in. The lights were on in the house, but
something was strange. The windows seemed to be fogged up. Julie opened the door and smoke poured out.
"Mark!" she shouted. "Mark!" We rushed inside and found him asleep on the sofa. Shaking him awake, Julie
grabbed him. I grabbed the source of the smoke -a pillow too close to the fireplace. I then took it outside and
threw water on it. Mark had built a fire to keep warm, and some embers (灰烬) had flown out. The whole
house could have gone up if we hadn"t gotten there just then!
