People Don’t Always Need Words
On the train to St. Austell, Julie, a girl with green eyes, and her husband, Bill, were going to have their first holiday. While Bill was busy talking to the man in a brown hat about his life story, Julie felt nothing but bored. So she started to observe the tall man in expensive outfits , and the book as well as the newspaper he read. She was so into him that she decided to leave her husband and the boring trip behind and went away with the mysterious tall man.
At first, Julit sat next to Bill, who kept chatting with the man in a brown hat. She felt so bored! The destination, St. Austell, doesn’t even the place she wanted to go. She thought of many cities she would like to visit. And then, the tall man who sat across her grab an Italy guidebook out from his bag. Julie couldn’t help but start reading the title while her husband and the man in a brown hat went to a restaurant to grab some food julie knew she was attracted ny the tall man, so she went away with the tall man and left her husband the boring trip to St. Austell without saying goodbye.
I appreciate what Julie did but I don’t think it’s right. After all, she had a husband who loved her very much, but she just went off. That’s very irresponsible and childish. Although that hurt Bill’s feeling and left him nothing but shocked, what can we possibly judge Julie if she was really in love with the mysterious tall man? When Bill learned that the tall man even waited for Julie, he was stunned, and said ”But he read his newspaper all the time. He didn’t talk to Julie. And she never talked to him. They didn’t say a word.” There’s a passenger on the train on the train heard the whole story and told Bill, “people don’t always need words.” So, I guess Bill will have an “unforgettable” trip during the time he went to St. Austell on the vacation.
