(42-43)
     James fell in love with his neighbor, Alice. Her birthday was around the corner and he wanted to give a special gift that she would never forget. One night, he got a great idea from a TV show. In the show, a man showed how much he loved a woman in a really interesting way. On Alice’s birthday, James used alcohol to write, “Happy birthday, Alice. I love you.—James” on the grass in a park. Then he set fire and showed it to Alice. She loved it and was very excited. They sat there and watched the fire happily. Suddenly, they heard someone shouting. They turned around and saw another neighbor and a police officer running up to them. They were then taken to the police station. James got in big trouble for damaging the public park. He had to spend NT$300,000 fixing the damaged land. When he was asked why he had done something so dangerous, James said that he got the idea from a TV show. “They did it on the show. Why can’t I?” James said. Everybody laughed and told James that he should not believe everything shown on TV. From that moment on, he knew that he should think harder before doing something like that again, but it was a very expensive lesson for him.
