The tall Paul gave me a call. He wanted to buy a ball at the
mall. When we walked past the city hall, there came a big squall. We saw a stall fall down, and we were both appalled. Then Paul was galled by a falling wall. Then I felt a pall of darkness covering all. From then on, I became a thrall to horror beyond recall. I wish no mishap had ever befallen us at all.
中译〕 那高高的保罗给我一个电话。他要到购物街买个球。当我们走过市政府时，来了一阵大风，我们看到一个摊位倒掉了，而我们两位都吓坏了。接着保罗被落墙伤到了。然后我感到一片乌黑笼罩一切。从那时起，我变成难以追忆之恐怖的奴隶。我希望不幸根本没落在我们上头。
