Paragraph One
I walk down the street. There is an open sink hole I didn’t notice. I fall in. I am hurt. I am helpless. It isn’t my fault. I cry and complain. It takes a lifetime to come out.

Paragraph Two
I walk down the street. There is an open sink hole I didn’t notice.
I pretend it does not exist. I fall in again. I can’t believe my bad luck. But, it isn’t my fault. It’s all destiny. It still takes a long time to get out.

Paragraph Three
I walk down the same street. There is an open sink hole. I see it is there. I still fall in … it’s a habit. It is my fault. I accept responsibility. I am in pain and get out immediately.

Paragraph Four
I walk down the same street. I can see the open sink hole I knew was there.
I am alert. I walk around it.

Paragraph Five
I walk down another street.
