When I was looking at my railway timetable, I read with satisfaction that there was an express train (快车) to Westhaven. It went to the station in my hometown and the journey lasted only an hour and 17 minutes. When I got on the train, I couldn’t help noticing that a lot of villagers got on as well. At that time I was not surprised at all. I thought that there might be many people besides myself who wished to take the express train to save time. Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Wildly, a small station a few miles along the line. Even an express train can be delayed sometimes. But when the train stopped station after station, I began to wonder. It suddenly struck me that this express was not running down the line at 90 miles an hour, but no more than 30. One hour and 17 minutes passed and we had not covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was Westhaven Express, but he said he had not even heard of it. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master at Westhaven. When he said there was not such an express train, I asked for his copy of the timetable. There was a sign of victory in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white. Looking at the timetable, he told me to look careful. At the bottom of the page it said, “This service has been stopped.”
