[Story] Across the busy street from the towns old library was a small church, its bell tolling the hour. A man, standing on the corner of the bank, decided to lend a book to a friend. As he crossed the street, he noticed a factory on the ground, abandoned and overgrown with weeds. He returned the book to the library and thought about borrowing a new one, but his thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a prison van passing by.
[参考翻译] 在城镇的老图书馆对面的繁忙街道上，有一座小教堂，钟声报时。一个男人站在银行的角落，决定借一本书给朋友。当他穿过街道时，他注意到一座废弃的工厂，杂草丛生。他把书还给了图书馆，想再借一本，但他的思绪被一辆经过的囚车打断了。
