Pale light filtered through the clouds. The wind blew from the lake. The day was dreary and dizmal. The young man was a good mood. He was on his way to the bus station. He was headed to Florida. He wanted to spend a week in the sunshine. He had saved his money for the trip. He had looked forward to the journy for six months.
After a forty-five minute walk in the cold wind. The young man arrived at the bus stattion. He purchased his ticket. He bought a magazine to read. He sat on a bench. He waited for the announcement that the bus was ready for boarding. A lady who sat next to the yound man in the station was listening to a portable radio. When the man heard, "And now, the new," he listeded carefully for the weather report. The announcer gave this news: "The first hurricane of the season is heading toward Florida."
