Minggu lalu aku pergi ke teater. Aku mendapat kursi yang sangat bagus. Drama itu sangat menarik.
Aku tidak menikmatinya. Seorang pria muda dan seorang wanita muda duduk di belakangku. Mereka
berbicara dengan keras. Aku menjadi sangat marah. Aku tidak bisa mendengar para aktor. Aku
berbalik. Aku memandang pria dan wanita itu dengan marah. Mereka tidak memperhatikan. Akhirnya,

marah. ‘ Itu bukan urusanmu,’ kata pemuda itu kasar. ‘Ini adalah percakapan pribadi!’

Desa kecil Frinley dikatakan memiliki ‘pohon terkutuk’. Karena pohon itu disebut-sebut di koran,

Dikatakan bahwa jika seseorang menyentuh pohon itu, nasibnya akan buruk; jika dia memetik daun,
dia akan mati. Banyak penduduk desa yang percaya bahwa pohon tersebut telah memakan korban
jiwa. Pendeta telah diminta untuk menebang pohon, tetapi sejauh ini dia menolak. Dia telah
menunjukkan bahwa pohon ke-15 adalah sumber pendapatan yang berguna karena para turis datang

memetik daun dan memotong nama mereka di batang pohon. Sejauh ini, tidak satu pun dari mereka
yang mati mendadak!

60 Masa Depan
Pada pameran desa, saya memutuskan untuk mengunjungi peramal bernama Madam Bellinsky. Saya
pergi ke tendanya dan dia menyuruh saya duduk. Setelah saya memberinya uang, dia melihat ke
dalam bola kristal dan berkata: ‘Ada relasi Anda yang akan datang menemui Anda. Dia akan tiba
malam ini dan cenderung tinggal selama beberapa hari. Saat Anda meninggalkan tenda ini, Anda akan
mendapatkan kejutan besar. Seorang wanita yang Anda kenal baik akan bergegas ke arah Anda. Dia
akan berbicara kepadamu dan kemudian dia akan membawamu menjauh dari tempat ini. Itu
semuanya.’ Begitu saya keluar, saya lupa semua tentang Madam Bellinsky karena istri saya bergegas
ke arah saya. “Di mana kau bersembunyi?” Tanyanya tidak sabar. “Adikmu akan tiba di sini kurang
dari satu jam dan kita harus berada di stasiun untuk menemuinya. Kita sudah terlambat.” Saat dia
berjalan pergi, aku mengikutinya keluar dari pameran.

Di masa depan, astronot akan diminta untuk turun dari pesawat luar angkasa saat masih di luar angkasa
dan kembali ke sana. Kemampuan untuk melakukan ini akan diperlukan di Aights masa depan ke
planet yang jauh. Ilmuwan mencoba untuk menemukan apakah ini mungkin. Pesawat luar angkasa
Astra yang meninggalkan bumi beberapa waktu lalu, akan menempuh jarak tiga ratus mil ke luar
angkasa. Pada titik tertentu, Astra akan berhenti sebentar dan astronot akan berusaha meninggalkan
pesawat ruang angkasa stasioner dan kemudian kembali ke sana. Kita tidak akan tahu apakah
percobaan itu berhasil sampai kita menerima pesan radio. Pesan pertama diharapkan sampai pada jam
7 malam ini. Pada saat itu, Astra telah terbang melintasi angkasa selama tujuh belas jam dan telah
berkali-kali mengitari bumi. Saat pesan radio pertama sudah diterima, hasil perjalanan akan segera
diumumkan.

62 Setelah Kebakaran
Petugas pemadam kebakaran telah memadamkan kebakaran hutan selama hampir tiga minggu
sebelum mereka dapat mengendalikannya. Beberapa waktu sebelumnya, pohon-pohon besar menutupi
pedesaan bermil-mil jauhnya. Sekarang, asap masih mengepul dari tanah yang hangat di atas
perbukitan yang terpencil. Musim dingin telah tiba dan perbukitan mengancam desa-desa sekitarnya
dengan kehancuran, karena hujan lebat tidak hanya akan menyapu tanah tetapi juga akan menyebabkan
banjir yang serius. Ketika api akhirnya padam, otoritas kehutanan memesan beberapa ton benih
rumput jenis khusus yang akan tumbuh dengan cepat. Benih disemprotkan ke tanah dalam jumlah
besar dengan pesawat terbang. Pesawat-pesawat itu sudah hampir sebulan menanam benih saat hujan
mulai turun. Namun, pada saat itu, di banyak tempat rumput sudah berakar. Sebagai ganti pohon-
pohon besar yang telah tumbuh di sana selama berabad-abad, bercak hijau mulai muncul di tanah yang
menghitam.

64 Terowongan Channel
Pada 1858, seorang insinyur Perancis, AiméThomédeGamond, tiba di Inggris dengan rencana untuk
membuat terowongan sepanjang dua puluh satu mil melintasi Selat Inggris. Dia mengatakan bahwa
dimungkinkan untuk membangun platform di tengah Channel. Platform ini akan berfungsi sebagai
pelabuhan dan stasiun kereta api. Tunnei akan memiliki ventilasi yang baik jika cerobong asap tinggi
dibangun di atas permukaan laut.Pada tahun 1860, sebuah rencana yang lebih baik diajukan oleh
seorang Inggris, William Low. Dia menyarankan agar terowongan rel kereta api ganda harus
dibangun. Ini akan memecahkan masalah ventilasi, karena jika kereta api memasuki terowongan ini,
ia akan menarik udara segar di belakangnya, Empat puluh dua tahun kemudian sebuah terowongan
benar-benar dimulai. Jika, pada saat itu, Inggris tidak takut akan invasi, itu akan selesai. Baru-baru
ini, minat yang besar kembali muncul. Dalam gagasan Terowongan Channel. Jika dibangun, itu akan
menghubungkan Inggris ke Eropa untuk pertama kalinya dalam sejarah.

84. On Strike ( Mogok )
Supir bus telah memutuskan untuk mogok minggu depan. Pemogokan akan dimulai pada hari Selasa.
Tidak ada yang tahu akan sampai kapan berlangsung. Para supir bus telah menyatakan bahwa
pemogokan akan berlanjut sampai kesepakatan umum tercapai tentang gaji dan kondisi kerja.
Kebanyakan orang percaya bahwa pemogokan akan berlangsung selama seminggu. Banyak pemilik
mobil pribadi akan menawarkan 'tumpangan gratis' kepada orang-orang dalam perjalanan ke kantor.
Hal ini akan mengurangi tekanan pada kereta sampai batas tertentu. Sementara itu, sejumlah
mahasiswa bersukarela menjadi pengganti supir bus selama aksi mogok berlangsung. Para mahasiswa
itu sudah memiliki pengalaman mengemudi, namun sebelum mereka mengemudikan bus, mereka
harus lulus ujian khusus. Para siswa akan mengikuti tes dalam waktu dua hari. Meski begitu,
masyarakat masih tetap kesulitan untuk berangkat kerja. Namun sejauh ini, masyarakat banyak
menyampaikan terima kasih kepada mahasiswa melalui surat kepada Pers. Hanya satu atau dua orang
yang keberatan bahwa nantinya para mahasiswa relawan akan mengemudi terlalu cepat!

tidak terlalu dibutuhkan disini. Pada awalnya, pemerintan brazil kesuliran dalam membujuk orang
untuk meninggalkan Rio dan menetap di Brasilia. Sejak tahun 1960, entah bagaimana populasi telah

people to leave Rio and to settle in Brasilia.

air bahkan sebelum mereka bisa berjalan. Bayi yang baru berumur dua bulan bahkan tidak terlihat
enggan untuk memasuki air. Semakin lama, mereka semakin terlatih untuk berada di kolam renang,
mereka bahkan sudah bisa mengambil barang yang jatuh di dasar kolam. Mainan yang sangat populer
diantara anak anak ini adalah lomba sepeda roda tiga di bawah air. Sepeda roda tiga yang telah diatur
di lantai kolam sekitar tujuh kaki di bawah air. Anak-anak berlomba satu sama lain untuk mencapai
ujung kolam renang. Banyak juga dari mereka yang mengayuh sepedanya, tetapi kebanyakan dari
mereka lebih memilih untuk mendorong atau menyeret sepeda mereka sendiri. Beberapa anak masih
bisa bertahan dibawah air walaupun sudah berjalan sepanjang kolam itu tanpa mengambil nafas lagi.
