W: Oh, it was terrible. I'll never forget it. Well, Jack and I always get up at about a quarter to five. He has to work early. You see, while I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, the quake came. There was this horrible sound and the floor was just bouncing and rolling like wave, all at the same time.

M: Then what did you do?

W: Well, we figure out it was an earthquake. Then I crawled under the table, and I shouted at Jack to come. But he just stood there.

M: Whoa!

W: It lasted 24 seconds, and then it stopped. And Jack and I could hear people talking outside, so we tried to go out to the front door, but it was jammed shut. And then the first aftershock hit.

M: That's incredible. Then what did you guys do?

W: Well, I remember that someone shouted, "Get out of there, quickly!" Jack said: "Well, go out of the window." But I called out: "It's too high up," because we were living on the second floor. "Not any more," Jack shouted back. So, we looked out of the window and, sure enough, we were down on the ground!

M: Your second floor apartment was on the ground?

W: We couldn't believe it. We opened the window and crawled out. Once we were down safely, we turned around and looked back at our apartment building. The whole first was gone -- it was just totally flattened.

M: Mrs. Smith. Do you mean that the whole first floor was gone?

W: Yes, the first floor was gone.

M: And what about your apartment?

W: The apartment -- can you believe it? Had moved and stood there.

M: Incredible, Mrs. Smith, absolutely incredible.

W: What?

M: Well, Dr. Brown's class finished ten minutes early, so I went to the library between classes. I knew I didn't have much time, but I wanted to get those books on the Industrial Revolution. I looked them up in the card catalog and went right to the stacks and found them. So t put them in my book bag and headed back toward the door. Then it happened. The exit gate in front of the door wouldn't open, and a guard immediately, warned me that I hadn't checked out my books. He thought I was trying to steal them.

W: That must have been embarrassing. But why didn't the exit gate open?

M: I asked them that. It seems the books in the library are all magnetically coded, and when you check them out, the librarian behind the desk demagnetizes them, then the exit gate will open.

W: How interesting! I still don't quite understand how they do it, though. I'll have to go to the library and see it for myself.

W: Not too good, I suppose.

M: What happened?

W: Well, you know I moved out from Mrs. Henzer's nine months ago. And all along I forgot to inform. the registration office to get my address changed. Guess what? The library sent three reminder notices on the fines incurred on the overdue books and Mrs. Henzer kept the letters without returning them to the senders.

M: How did you find out?

W: Well, I went to the registration to get my transcript. but they said there are some outstanding fines that I have to settle before they can release it.

M: Then, just pay the fine and you can get your transcript. What's the big problem?

W: Yeah, that's exactly what I thought but the fine came to $150 and that was a shock to me. I didn't expect it to come to that much.

M: Oh. That's a bit of a bite! Did you keep the book for long? That's the first time I've come across such a big fine on the library loan.

W: Guess what? I checked with the library and they told me three books are still outstanding. They're from 8 months ago. I thought I'd returned them.

M: Are you sure you returned the books yourself or did you get someone to do it?

W: Well, hard to recall now since it was so long ago. At that time I was holding two jobs and had. to juggle with school. I really thought I had returned them.

M: Tell you what. Why don't you go hack to Mrs. Henzer and see if the books are still there? Otherwise, you'll have to pay for the lost books and I'm sure they will cost more than $150.

W: I guess that's the only choice I'm left with right now.
