It was dark. Jose felt frightened. He had been walking a long time. He didn't see any
sign of life. It was a desolate place. He wanted to cry out in exasperation. His feet
were killing him. He was tired, hungry, and sleepy. He didn't want to stop on the
roadside. He was afraid that an untoward accident might befall him. All he wanted
to do was keep on walking. He wanted to reach a lighted place. It seemed like he had
been walking for an eternity. No sound could be heard for miles around. Not one sign
was there to tell him where he was. He blamed himself. He should not have left the
town so late. Now he had no one to turn to. He could be walking farther away from
his destination. It was sad. All he had wanted were a few hours of fun. This was a fine
place to be in. Not a single star was in the sky. There was no way to tell time. And he
had never been in a predicament like this before.
