I I
walk down the street....
There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost.... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a
way out.
II I walk down the same
street....
There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in, again.
I can't believe I am in this
same place
but it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time
to get out.
III I
walk down the same street....
There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in.... it is a
habit
but ... my eyes are open.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
IV I walk down the same
street....
There is a deep hole in the
sidewalk.
I walk around it.
V I walk down a different
street....
