很长一段时间后，我把这件事告诉了一位精通神秘学的人，他神情严肃地对我说：“宾戈总会在你危难之时帮助你吗？”
“是的。”
“那就不要笑了。那天是你有危险，他留下来救了你，尽管你永远都不会知道他把你从什么样的危险中解救出来的。”

老农夫的卡车
That Old Black Dog
基姆·格尔登 / Jim Golden
Once upon a time in my life， way up on this great big hill there lived this really old farmer. That old man didn' t have any cows， horses， pigs or chickens， in fact， that old famer didn' t even have an old farm wife to help take care of him. Everyone around town knew that this old guy was a very mean person. He was so mean that he could hardly wait for the rain to stop so he could run outside and chase all the birds away who were coming out to sing and eat grain on his farm. That is just how mean this old farmer really was.
