One week， several visitors went to the village. ⑥Among them was a young woman about twenty years old. One day she looked different from the others and she went out alone at night. She was seen by a villager， who followed her quietly. When the young woman got to the beach， the villager rushed up to her and tried hard to pull her back. “Let me go. Dont pull me！” cried the young woman， “I was playing on the beach this afternoon. Now I cant find the key to my suitcase. I think I must have left it here.” “But why wont you look for it tomorrow morning？” said the villager. “Tomorrow morning Ill leave here and catch the early bus to New York.
