Pete took his seat this day on his usual bench in Union Square.Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years Pete had taken this same seat exactly at one o'clock, and each time the same pleasant thing had happened.But this time Pete had come here more from habit than from hunger.Certainly today Pete was not hungry.Two rich old ladies gave him a Thanksgiving dinner of everything he could eat.

       Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly this same thin?

       "Thank you, sir, " said Pete at last. “I’ll go with you gladly. I’m very hungry, sir.” Together the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his Thanksgiving dinner. The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy. When the waiter brought dish after dish of food to Pete, the Old Gentlenman sat quietly and smiled.Under the circumstances, Pete had to eat.It was part of the tradition, and so he ate like a hero, although when he entered the restaurant even the smell of food almost made him sick.At last Pete leaned back with the battle won.

       " Thank you, sir, " he said, with some effort, " for a fine dinner."

It was the perfect weather for leaf watching, and my housemate Julie and I meant to spend the weekend with our friends in the North Georgia Mountains.

“Don’t you want to come along?” Julie asked her 15-year-old son, Mark. “Enjoy the leaves by yourselves,” he told her. “I’ll be fine staying home by myself.”

Julie and I drove there in my car after work on Friday. On Saturday morning we hiked along the mountainside and enjoyed the beautiful colors. All of a sudden, I had terrible feeling. “Go home,” a voice seemed to urge me. I couldn’t explain it, but I didn’t want to be there anymore. I just wanted to go home. “Carol, calm down. You’re being silly,” Julie said. But the urge just got stronger.

“I’ve got to leave,” I said. “If you want to stay, you can get a ride back with anyone else tomorrow.”

Julie stood up. “No, I’ll go with you,” she said. We almost didn’t talk during the two-hour trip back. I felt very guilty.

Finally, we reached home. The lights were on in the house, but something was strange. The windows seemed to be fogged up. Julie opened the door and smoke poured out. “Mark!” she shouted. “Mark!” We rushed inside and found him asleep on the sofa. Shaking him awake, Julie grabbed him. I grabbed the source of the smoke—a pillow too close to the fireplace. I then took it outside and threw water on it. Mark had built a fire to keep warm, and some ember(灰烬) had flown out. The whole house could have gone up if we hadn’t gotten there just then!
