They thought it was probably shallow.Then when they drove into the hole, they could not drive out because it was so deep.The farmer did not spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole.When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with his tractor and charged the driver a lot of money for doing this.One day, the driver of a car said to him, "You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole night and day.""Oh, no," the farmer said.

He went to the door and knocked gently. He knew almost immediately that someone was inside the house. He could not hear anything, but he was sure the knock was bringing someone to the door and he was most eager to see who this person would be -- his woman named Rosa Sandoval who was now to heat of murder in the world and to feel it in herself. The door was not a long time opening, but there was no hurry in the way it moved on its hinges. The movement of the door was as if, whoever she was, she and nothing in the world to fear. Then the door was open, and there she was.To Homer the Mexican woman was beautiful. He could see that she had been patient all her life, so that now, after years of it, her lips were set in a gentle and saintly smile. But like all people who never receive telegrams the appearance of a messenger at the front door is full of terrible implication. Homer knew that Mrs. Rosa Sandoval was shocked to see him. Her first word was the first word of all surprise. She said "Oh," as if instead of a messenger she had thought of opening the door to someone she had know a long time and would be pleased to sit down with. Before she spoke again she studied Homer's eyes and HomerKnew that she knew the message was not a welcome one."You have a telegram?" she said.It wasn't Homer's fault. His work was to deliver telegrams. Even so, it seemed to him that he was part of the whole mistake. He felt awkward and almost as if he alone were responsible for what had happened. At the same time he wanted to come right out and say, "I'm only a messenger, Mrs. Sandoval, I'm very sorry I must bring you a telegram like this, but it is only because it is my work to do so.""Who is it for?" the Mexican woman said."Mrs. Rosa Sandoval, 1129 G Street." Homer said. He extended the telegram to the Mexican woman, but she would not touch it."Are you Mrs. Sandoval?" Homer said."Please," the woman said. "Please come in. I cannot read English. I am Mexican. I read only La Prensa which comes from Mexico City." She paused a moment and looked at the boy standing awkwardly as near the door as he could be and still be inside the house."Please," she said, "what does the telegram say?""Mrs. Sandoval," the messenger said, "the telegram says --"But now the woman interrupted him. "But you must open the telegram and read it to me," she said. "You have not opened it.""Yes, ma'am," Homer said as if he were speaking to a school teacher who had just corrected him.He opened the telegram with nervous fingers. The Mexican woman stooped to pick up the torn envelope, and tried to smooth it out. As she did so she said, "Who sent the telegram -- my son Juan Domingo?""No, ma'am." Homer said. "The telegram is from the WarDepartment.""War Department?" the Mexican woman said."Mrs. Sandoval," Homer said swiftly, "your son is dead. Maybe it's a mistake, Everybody makes a mistake, Mrs. Sandoval. Maybe it wasn't your son. Maybe it was somebody else. The telegram says it was Juan Domingo. But maybe the telegram is wrong,"The Mexican woman pretended not to hear."Oh, do not be afraid," she said. "Come inside. Come inside.I will bring you candy." She took the boy's arm and brought him to the table at the center of the room and there she made him sit."All boys like candy," she said. "I will bring you candy." She went into another room and soon returned with an old chocolate candy box. She opened the box at the table and in it Homer saw a strange kind of candy."Here," she said. "Eat this candy. All boys like candy."Homer took a piece of the candy from the box, put it into his mouth, and tried to chew."You would not bring me a bad telegram," she said. "You are a good boy -- like my little Juanito when he was a little boy. Eat another piece." And she made the messenger take another piece of the candy.Homer sat chewing the dry candy while the Mexican woman talked. "It is our own candy," she said, "from cactus. I made it for my Juanito when he come home, but you eat it. You are my boy, too."Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he would stay. He even thought he might stay the restof his life. He just didn't know what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy, and if she had asked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refuse, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by standing he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then he knew the foolishness of this intention and became more awkward than ever. In his heart he was saying over and over again, "What can I do? What the hell can I do? I'm only the messenger." NEW WORDSsoftenv.

8.A Sad Story
Jim met two friends in the street.
"Come back to my apartment for a meal," he
said. "You can see the whole of the city from
my bedroom window."
His two friends agreed and they went back
with Jim to the apartment building where he
lived on the 40th floor.
When they arrived, however, the elevator
was out of order.
"I'm sorry," Jim said, "we'll have to walk."
"But it's forty floors!" they said.
"We'll talk as we climb," Jim said. "You can
tell me the new jokes you've heard and when
we get to my apartment I'll tell you a story." His friends agreed and they started to climb the forty flights of stairs. At last they reached the top floor and were standing outside the door of Jim's apartment.
"Now tell us a good story," his friends said.
Jim looked at them sadly and said, "Once upon a time there was a man who met two friends. He invited them to his apartment on the fortieth floor. The elevator wasn't working and they had to climb forty flights of stairs. When they reached the fortieth floor he put his hand in his pocket for the key to the door of his apartment. It wasn't there. Then he remembered where it was. It was in his car."
