STRASBURG STREET

ONE DAY A LITTLE GIRL WAS PLAYING IN THE STREET, WHEN FROM AROUND
THE CORNER CAME A SPEEDING DESOTO. BECAUSE IT WAS DARK OUT,
THE MAN FAILED TO SEE THE CHILD. THE GIRL WAS STRUCK BY THE CAR.
HER ARM GOT CAUGHT ON THE FENDER. THE CAR THEN PROCEEDED TO
DRAG THE GIRL DOWN THE ROAD. STRUGGLING FOR HER LIFE, SHE
DESPERATELY TRIED TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE DRIVER BY KNOCKING.
FROM THAT DAY ON, WHENEVER YOU DRIVE OVER THAT SPOT, YOU WILL
EXPERIENCE HER FURIOUS KNOCKING.
