In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he
discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened wheat formed a circle
about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles
were in a formation like five dots. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange
circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called "crop circles" because they appear in the fields of grain-usually wheat or corn.
The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can
later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form
at night. They appear only in the months from May to September.
At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. Probably young people were making them as
a joke, or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax, people
tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They couldn"t do it. They couldn"t
enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn"t flatten the grain without breaking it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate with us
from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that
a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles-the same downward rush of air that
sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles
to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations:crop circles often appear in
formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those. |

I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospital ward, where I worked as a volunteer. Her
husband,Bill,stood nervously nearby.Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer,she
was cheerful.We got her settled in.As we became acquainted,she told me that how frustrating it was to be
married 32 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman"．
"Oh,I know Bill loves me,"she said,"but he has never been one to say he loves me,or send cards to me."
Bill visited Connie every day.When she began sleeping more,he paced up and down the hallway outside
her room.Soon,when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments,I began spending
more of my volunteer time with Bill.He said he could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife
was dying.
One day,I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives；how we love to
get sentimental cards and love letters.
"Do you tell Connie you love her?" I asked(knowing his answer),and he looked at me as if I was crazy.
"I don"t have to,"he said."She knows I do!"
"I"m sure she knows,"I said,"but she needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years.Please
think about it."
Two days later I walked down the hospital ward at noon.There stood Bill,leaning up against the wall in
the hallway,staring at the floor.I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 a.m..
When Bill saw me,he allowed himself to come into my arms for a long time.His face was wet with tears
and he was trembling."I have to say something."he said."I have to say how good I feel about telling her."
I went into the room to say my own goodbye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large
Valentine card saying,"To my wonderful wife... I love you." |
