Mrs. Hammond was old and blind, but she was determined to do everything for herself. She even used to go for walks by herself once a day for  36 , and found her way by  37  things with her white stick. She learned where everything was, so she never lost her way.

     One day, some men came and cut down some of the familiar trees at the side of one of the paths which she  38  . When she reached that place that evening, she did not  39  the trees with her stick, so she was in  40  .

    She  41  for a while and listened, but did not  42  any other people, so she went for a kilometer or two, and then she heard  43  beneath her. “Am I  44 ? I suppose so,” she said, “I must be on a  45 , and there must be a river under me. I've been told that there's a river in this part of the country, but I don't know its exact  46 . How am I going to get  47  to my house from here?”

     All at once she heard a man's friendly  48  near her. “Excuse me, can I help you?” “How kind of you!” Mrs. Hammond answered. “Yes, please. Some of the trees which I follow have been  49  today, and if I hadn't been 50  enough to meet you, I don't know  51  I'd have done. Can you please  52  me to get home?”

 “Certainly,” the man answered. “Where do you live?”

  Mrs. Hammond told him, and the man took her to her house. She told the man how pleased she was that she had met him. But the man said. “I want to  53  you.”

    Mrs. Hammond asked, “Whatever for?”

 “Well,” the man said quietly, “I was balanced (懸在) on the edge of that bridge for ages in the  54 , because I was trying to make up my mind to  55  myself into the river and drown myself. But I'm not going to do it now.”

Nick Campbell sat at the side of the road and wondered what to do next. He looked at the second-hand Harley Davidson he’d bought from a back-street garage back home in Miami at the beginning of his trip six weeks before.

For years he had dreamt of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he’d finally decided that it was now or never. He’d given up his job, sold his car and set off for the journey of his dreams. He’d been lucky, or so he thought, to find this old Harley Davidson and had bought it for a very reasonable price —— it had cost him just $600. But five kilometers from Atlanta, he had run out of luck. The motorbike had broken down.

He pushed the bike into town and found a garage. The young mechanic told him to leave the bike overnight and come back the next day. The following morning, to his surprise, the man asked if the bike was for sale. “Certainly not,” he replied, paid his bill and hit the road.

When he got to Kansas the old machine ran out of steam again. This time Nick thought about selling it and buying something more reliable, but decided to carry on. When the bike was going well, he loved it.

However, in Denver, Colorado, the bike broke down again so he decided to take it to a garage and offer it for sale. The mechanic told him to come back in the morning.

The next day, to his amazement, the man offered him $2,000. Realizing the man must be soft in the head, but clearly not short of money, Nick asked for $ 3,000. The man agreed and they signed the papers. Then the mechanic started laughing. In fact it was several minutes before he could speak and when he could he said, “That’s the worst deal you’ll ever make, boy."

     He removed the seat. On the underside was the inscription (銘文):

     ‘To Elvis, love James Dean.’
