III The main part of the lesson
The wanishing hitchhiker
My Uncle Joe was driving home late one night when he picked up a pretty girl hitchhiking in a white dress. The girl was very nice and they had a good conversation. He drove her home and dropped her off at her house. The next day, he realized she left her sweater in his car. He decided to drop the sweater off at her house. When he rang the bell, an old lady answered the door. He told her his story and she told him he was mistaken – her daughter died in a car accident after a night of dancing many years ago…
