One upon a time, there was an office worker whose name was Charles. He worked in the same insurance office for many years. But during that time, he became more and more unhappy. While he worked, he dreamed constantly, and in his dream he was always a hermit, he stayed in this room. He didn’t like people. He especially didn’t like people when they talked. He wanted peace. Life went on for Charles in this way until he became desperate.
 
His big opportunity came when he learned about a sea voyage the two of his friends were planning. They expected to make the trip during their summer vacation. Charles asked to join them. While they were sailing, our hero talked to his friends about the joys of hermits’ life. He talked until he finally convinced them and they decided to stop at the first island that they found.

We don’t live in an age of miracles, but sometimes they happen. This was a special New Year’s Eve Miracle.

Elizabeth Barret lives near a shopping center, and sometimes she and her sister, Barbara, play near the stores. They like playing there. There are lots of people there, and she and Barbara like to look at the things in the windows.
 
But the lives of children are not sweet. They are full of fears. Children attack and chase other children. Why? Who knows? But it’s true. And it’s true in Smithtown too.

Elizabeth is eleven years old and isn’t friends with bad children. She doesn’t fight. Her mother says so.

They go to my school. They are bad.”

Hurry up.” The trains on the Long Island Railroad are always late. It is a fact of life on Long Island. But the 1:05 out of Ronkokoma was on time the New Year’s Eve.

Don’t let it happen.” he shouted. But it did. Engine #4321 was on top of Elizabeth in two second.
