ALONG A LONELY STREET
A man who lived in one of the suburbs of a big town in England went home from the railway station. It was night and there was nobody in the street. Suddenly he heard that somebody was following him. The man stopped and the man behind him also stopped. The man started to walk quickly and the man behind him also started to walk quickly. The man started to run and the man behind him also started to run.
Then the first man saw a wall around the garden. “That man behind me wants to rob me,” - thought the man, and he jumped over the wall. The other man jumped over the wall too. The first man turned round to him and said: “What do you want? Why are you following me?” “Do you always go home like this, or are you having some exercises in jumping tonight?” – answered the other man. “I’m going to Mr. Fork’s and the man at the station told me to go after you as you live near Mr. Fork’s home. Excuse me for asking you, but will you have some more gymnastics or will you go straight home?”
