Chapter 1: I walk down the street. 

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. 

I fall in. 

I am lost... I am hopeless. 

It isn't my fault. 

It takes forever to find a way out. 

 

Chapter 2:  I walk down the same street. 

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I can't believe I'm in the same place. 

But it isn't my fault. 

It still takes a long time to get out.

 

Chapter 3:  I walk down the same street. 

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I know where I am. 

It is my fault. 

I get out immediately. 

 

Chapter 4: I walk down the same street.
