I went to Scapli first in 1948. There were no local (当地的) planes in those days, so I made the trip by bus. The journey was a thousand kilometres and it took the bus twenty hours. Throughout this time I sat beside a man about my age, 24. He told me that his name was Castleton, John Castleton, but he told me hardly anything else. I had never met anybody with so little to say. I was glad when the conductor handed out pillows (枕头), which gave me an excuse to try to sleep. I shall never forget that silent, unpleasant trip.
The next time I went to Scapli was in 1976, by air this time. The new town was being officially opened by the President, after many years of construction work. In the plane I had a long and interesting talk with a man who turned out to be chief engineer of the new town. When the plane landed, we exchanged names. To my great surprise, he was John Castleton, whom I felt sure I had met many years before.

Perhaps you have read about “Robinson Crusoe”. Many children like to hear and read about this man who lived alone for years on an island far out in the ocean. His ship was driven on the rocks in a storm and all the other men on board were drowned (淹死). He alone reached the island. It is a long story and tells of many brave and clever things he did as he lived with his family of animals. When he first swam to the island, he did not know what he would find in this strange place. Here is part of his story. “What should I do? I was very wet and had no change of clothes. I was hungry and thirsty and did not know where to turn to find anything to eat or drink. Were there any wild animals on the island? Would they attack me?”
“Night was coming on and I had to look for a place to sleep in. I stood there thinking and thinking. I did not know what to do.”
“After a while I made up my mind to do as the birds do. I would sleep in a tree. I looked around and found a tree with strong, heavy branches in which I felt sure I could rest in comfort without danger of falling.”
“I had no gun, but I had my knife with me, and with it I cut a thick stick. I wanted to be able to drive off any animal. Then I climbed the tree. As I was very tired, I fell asleep and did not wake up till the sun was high in the sky.”

Several months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate(投资)the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy(保险). I got the name of an insurance agent(代理人) from a friend and called the agent for some information. From the questions-I asked him, he could tell I knew nothing about insurance, so he kindly offered to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering.
That night he appeared at my door at 7:30; without wasting time he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and began a long explanation. I listened attentively as he felt I ought to. After three or four hours of talking, he kindly helped me fill out an form for a $ 50,000policy ,and then he asked if 1 could go to a Dr. Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination.
I don't know why, but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment(约定)that I realized fully what was happening. I was about to sign lifetime contract(合同), yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not. As a matter of fact, the question of a need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up. Suddenly I felt sure that I really did not want to buy the policy. However, since he had spent 80 much time with me, I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time. So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday, and I assured I would call him in a few days. Actually, I had no intention of going to see Dr. Luther or of calling the agent again.
I wanted to forget the whole thing -- it's been over three months now since our meeting, and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week. My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him, so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip. I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him that first night that I didn't want the policy. Since! still can't bring myself to tell him directly that I'm not interested, and please not to bother me anymore, all I can do is avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him some place.
