[06:17.44]Passage one
[06:20.45]The stranger was still a hundred meters away when he began to talk to me.
[06:27.06]He began in the usual way with a common greeting,
[06:32.36]as if we were two old friends or at least fairly well known to each other.
[06:39.93]I greeted him in the same manner,
[06:44.53]as if I had been thinking of him for a long time.
[06:50.02]Then we made more serious inquiries about each other's health.
[06:55.82]By this time we were about fifty meters away
[07:00.73]and could hear each other perfectly.
[07:04.41]Our next questions and answers concerned our families:
[07:10.00]our sons and daughters and their mothers
[07:14.10](We did not use the world wife)and also our parents.
[07:20.19]We were just beginning to go into more detail about family affairs
[07:26.48]when we actually met and shook hands warmly.
[07:31.16]By now,of course,each of us knew a great deal about the other,
[07:37.85]and it was time for us to introduce ourselves by name.
[07:43.15]We then thanked each other for a pleasant conversation
[07:48.14]and went our separate ways.

[08:43.26]A man came and sat down on the seat beside me
[08:48.95]and watched the traffic as cars rushed past.
[08:54.44]I looked at the fellow out of the corner of my eye.
[09:00.63]He had a notebook and a pencil,and when a motorcar passed by,
[09:07.71]he wrote something in his notebook.
[09:12.20]He did not take any notice of buses or lorries,only motorcars.
[09:19.88]Although this was none of my business,I wondered what he was writing.
[09:27.09]I am interested in the strange jobs that some people have.
[09:33.60]So after a few minutes,I asked him what he was writing.
[09:39.50]"The numbers on the cars," he said.
[09:43.99]"I see.Is that your job,or are you doing it for fun?
[09:50.58]When I was a boy,I used to collect train numbers."
