15Rignt Way---Wrong Way This is a very sad story. It is about a man who tried to help someone. Sadly, he did not help him at all. The weather was very cold. Snow was falling. The roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. It was not a good night to be outside. Thomas Ma, however, had to walk home from work. He had to walk along a country road. As he walked the cold wind beat against his chest. I will be warmer, he thought, if I wear my coat backwards. He stopped walking for a moment, took off his coat, and put it back on backwards. Thats much better, he thought, and walked on through the thickly falling snow. A few minutes later a car hit him. The driver of the car had not seen him soon enough. When he tried to stop, the car skidded on the ice. The driver got out of his car and ran to help Thomas Ma. Soon a police car arrived. The policeman ran to look at Mr. Ma, who was lying on the ground. Im afraid hes dead, he told the driver. The driver could not believe this. He cant be dead, he cried. I hardly touched him. Look at my car. Theres not a mark on it. Hes dead, the policeman said. There is no doubt. I dont understand it, the driver of the car said. As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying in the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood. Did you touch him? the policeman asked. Yes, the driver of the car said, but only to turn his head around the right way.
