Anvolhttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201203/201203090906244496628.mp3"Oh, what's that?" Anvol asked as if he were too big to play foolish games. I was getting excited. I did not trust myself to look at the circle on the floor. Anvol might learn my plan if I did. Nor did I look up at the top of the barn just above the circle. I knew what was there. It was a big steel fork to pick up hay grass and placed on the truck. It had two long sharp points. A man had come to the barn to build it, for days he worked until he placed the fork up high out of the way. The fork could be led down by a rope and was tied to a pole. I remembered the first day it was tested. My father called all the workers from the field to watch. I did not remember the details, but something went wrong. The fork fell and buried itself in the back of one of the horses. Father said little. He simply painted a white circle on the barn floor where the fork fell. He pulled the big steel fork back up to the top and tied the rope up high where no one could reach it. Then he said quietly with a white face. "I do not want anyone to step inside the white circle or to touch the rope that holds the fork, never."
"I do not want to play a foolish game." said Anvol.
"All right," I said, "but play just one game of prisoner's circle with me first. Get in the Circle, shut your eyes and begin to count."
"Oh all right." Anvol agreed weakly. "One, two, three."
"Get right in the middle of the circle." I told him, "and count slowly so I can hide." Anvol counted slower, "Four, five, six."
