Story Two

"Where are you from?" one of the two men asked D.
"Canada."
"Me, too. I am from Toronto, and he is from South Africa. He just came to Taipei to meet me today. He lives in Tainan."
"That's nice."
"How long have you been together?" asked the man, still waiting for the red light.
"Uh...we...uh." D stammered, while A just stood there, watching and savoring the moment of happiness.
"It's ok if you are not," the Toronto guy gave a knowing laugh.
"We...uh...just...," said D.
"Oh...it's green light now. Good luck then."
The red light turned green, and these four men crossed the street, going in two different directions towards Shinkong Mitsukoshi.
"Why didn't you answer?" A asked D.
"Well...I was embarrassed by that question."
"well... since forever," A thought about this answer in his head.

Neither of these two men was exhausted after spending a day hiking in the rain. They actually loved that day, and loved the cows that accompanied them throughout the hiking trip. Well, A was a litte terrifed by the cows, to tell you the truth.
