     One summer night Ludwig Beethoven took a walk in the suburb (市郊) of Bonn. Suddenly a gentle
 wind came. He heard some music. He listened carefully and found it was his F sonata. He followed the
 music and came to a small house. There through the window, he saw a girl playing a very old piano and a young man was making shoes beside her, he pushed the door open and went in. The host received

At that moment these clean official maps, correct in every detail, were as   55   as the sound of a human voice, as cheering as a candle in darkness.
