As I went for a walk down by the river I saw something that made me upset, apparently it was noticeable because my wife asked, " What's the matter? " " Oh, it was terrible! There was a woman standing on the pier. There were tears in her eyes. She was very angry, and she seemed indignant over some injury that had been inflicted upon her.
" I heard her cry, ' You monster of cruelty! I've stayed with you too long. You've hurt the very foundations of my being! I've endured your tortures day after day. The first time we met, your ease and polish attracted me to you...and when you became my own, my friends were quite envious. But now...take a look at what I've suffered for your sake! You keep me from advancing myself! My standing in society has been ruined by you! If we'd never met, I might have walked in peace...but now...now we part forever! '
" And I declare I saw her throw something in the water. I rushed over and..."
" Did you call the police? "
" Don't be silly. "
She didn't understand. Who...or what did she throw off the pier?
Do you know?
