Mr. Brown is on his way home from the railway station. It is very late and he is alone on the dark road. Suddenly he hears someone behind him. He begins to walk faster. The man behind him walks faster, too. He walks more slowly and the man moves more slowly, too. He begins to run, and the man runs after him. Now he is sure the man is following him and is really frightened.
There is a wall on one side of the road and he quickly climbs up it and jumps down on the other side. “If he passes and doesn’t stop, everything will be all right,” Mr. Brown thinks. But the man doesn’t pass. Mr. Brown thinks, “’I’m in great danger!” He stands up and shouts, “What do you want? Why are you following me?” The man is so tired that at first it is difficult for him to speak. “I don’t know that you are a very good runner,” he says at last. “I have to go to Mr. Green’s house, but I don’t know the way. A man tells me that you live next to Mr. Green’s, and he tells me to follow you. I’m too tired to go any farther.”
