Hannay was nervous. His enemies (敌人)were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?

Hannay walked along the country for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”

“My head hurts,” the worker said, “I can’t do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That’s the problem!”

Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.

“Yes, and I would be,” he replied,”but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I’ll be in trouble.”

Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea--he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.

“You go off to bed,” Hannay said,”I’ll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”

The road worker was pleased with this idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the worker’s hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.

“Are you the road worker?” it asked.

It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.

Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.

Then a village boy came by.”What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.

“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied.”He’s sick.”

At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three man got out of the car. Hannay’s heart beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming...
