A STRANGE EXPERIENCE
An odd thing happened to me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day, that I decided to go for
a leisurely drive in the country.
On the way back home, my motor stopped. I was out of gasoline on a lonely road far from a
town. I decided to walk until I found someone who could sell me a gallon or two of gasoline.
I had walked almost a mile before I finally found a house near the road. I was glad to see it,
because it was starting to get dark.
I knocked on the door and a little old leady with long white hair answered. She said, “ I’ve
been waiting for you for a long time. Come in, tea is almost ready.”
“But I only came for some gasoline.” I answered. I couldn’t imagine what she was talking
about.
I quickly explained that my car was out of gasoline, but she didn’t seem to hear me. She just
kept calling me Alfred and talking about how long it had been since she had seen me.
She was behaving very strangely and I was anxious to leave. As soon as she went to get the
tea, I went out for the house as fast as I could.
Fortunately, there was another house down the road, and I was able to buy several gallons of
gasoline. When I told the man about my experience, he said:” Oh, that’s Miss Emily. She
lives by herself in that big house. She is peculiar, but she wouldn’t hart anyone. She is still
waiting for the man she was supposed to marry thirty years ago. The day before their
wedding, he went away and never came back.”
