CONSIDERATE

          PART 3

"Well," Jason thought if he must detour,he must detour.  What a night to crawl

along a dark back road!  Every few feet his truck plunged into water-filled 

holes.  The sharp, cutting sound of loose stones against the tires was audible

even above the hiss of the rain.  Four miles, and the motor began to sputter 

and cough.  Another mile, and it surrendered entirely.  The ignition was soaked, 

the car would not budge.

Jason peered through the moisture-streaked windows and, in the black masses

beyond the road, vaguely sensed the presence of thickly clustered trees.  The

truck had stopped in the middle of a little patch of woods.  "What a swell place

to get stalled!" he thought disgustedly, and switched off the lights to save 

the battery.  He saw the glimmer of a light then, through the intervening trees,

indistinct in the depths of rain.

Where there was a light there was certainly a house--and perhaps a telephone.

Jason pulled his hat tightly down upon his head, clasped his coat collar up

around his ears, got out of the truck,pushed the truck over on the shoulder of

the road, and ran for the light.

1) THE LIGHT THAT JASON SAW THROUGH THE TREES IS IT COMING FROM A HOUSE OR
SOMETHING ELSE?
