I: I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost I am helpless. It is not my fault. It takes forever to find my way out.
II: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in. I cant believe I am in the same place. But it isnt my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.
III: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it there. I still fall in It's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
IV: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
V: I walk down another street.
