The air-hostess said over the microphone: “Welcome on board our Boeing 747 on our flight from Tokyo to Chicago. We shall shortly be taking off - please fasten your seat belts, put out your cigarettes and put your hand baggage under your seat. In an hour we will be serving meals and drinks. On behalf of the whole crew I would like to wish you a pleasant flight’. After some time the plane began to move, then took off and in a while disappeared among the clouds. The passengers looked out of their small, round windows in order to catch the last sights of their country. After some time the captain spoke to the passengers: “Welcome on board, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Masu Hugara and I am the captain of this plane. We shall be flying at a speed of eleven hundred kilometres per hour and we shall be over ten kilometres above the earth. We shall arrive in Chicago at ten minutes past eleven, local time. And for those of you who have never been abroad before - I am pleased to let you know that earthquakes are not as common in America as they are in Japan – so there is no need to expect the same that happened yesterday on Honshu. But let’s not talk about disasters. You are now going to be served meals and drinks. Enjoy your flight.’ There was an old man with a beard sitting at the front of the plane and a priest next to him. Behind them there were a few soldiers, and a small Japanese girl was sitting next to them. She looked like a little doll when you compared her to the soldiers. At the back of the aeroplane there was a Japanese man, dressed very smartly. He looked very calm, with strong body build and silence seemed to be his favourite way of behaving. His eyes were fixed on one point and his face did not move. You could have had the impression that you were looking at a monument. But it was not a monument. It was a man and he was very alive. If you already knew him better you would probably know that he is extremely alive. His name was Jet Itosu. He did not have much luggage with him because he considered luggage to be a waste of space. For a Japanese, a waste of space is a disaster. In order to avoid carrying unnecessary weight with him, Itosu only took articles of basic needs with him, and whenever he needed something, he would just buy it. He had just left Honshu, the island where he was born. His house had not been affected by the earthquake that the captain had mentioned , but he had another concern on his mind. The Honshu Jewel - that was his concern - a jewel which two centuries before the Emperor had given to his family as a gift. The jewel had been kept by the 2 Itosu family until the Second World War. Japan had been at war with the United States. Japan had lost the war because it did not have nuclear weapon. This meant no safety for the Japanese people and their property. And, it must be stressed, American soldiers like other people’s property when they defeated their country at war. In this situation the Honshu Jewel had been stolen by the soldiers in 1945. When news had come in that the jewel was being kept in Chicago, Jet had a new job to do. Bring the jewel back to Honshu. In spite of his strong personality, Jet eventually fell asleep. Although being awake was his favourite condition, he needed to rest. He knew that his health was his strongest weapon against his enemy. If his job was to fight and get their lost property back, he knew that he must take care of himself. But he was not the kind of man who would forget about it. He always remembered to take care of himself. He had been practising karate since he was seven years old. His grandfather had been famous all over the world for his skills as a karate champion. He, too, was very good. He was one of the best on Honshu. Everybody believed in his skills. Everybody trusted him as a family member. He was the one chosen for this job. He was married - his wife was a nurse in a hospital. He had two daughters who loved their mother and father. He was a lovely father, but now he was bad because he was again away from home and everybody was missing him. He was a professional soldier working in special units. The previous year he had become the trainer of the new recruits who enlisted in the army. Everybody in the army was afraid of him - especially of the strength and speed of his fists. And he had a very strong kick, too. If he was angry today, America was in trouble. The problem was that he wanted very much to get the jewel back. That meant that he would be ready to do anything. If an angry Japanese karate champion goes abroad , everybody should stay out of his way if they want to stay alive. He wanted very much to do his job, because he was acting on behalf of his family. It would be a disaster if he let them down. He simply couldn’t. The silence inside the aeroplane meant that most of the passengers had probably fallen asleep. One man, sitting next to Itosu, had been smoking and was now putting out his cigarette. He was now beginning to eat a hamburger. ‘This will affect your health’ - Itosu thought to himself – ‘you don’t need an earthquake or any other disaster to kill yourself. Just keep smoking and putting on weight, man.’ Itosu had the habit of comparing other people to animals from ‘The Muppet Show’. This man looked like Piggy to him. The aeroplane was approaching Chicago. The air-hostess told them to put out their cigarettes and fasten their seat belts again – safety regulations. In another ten minutes the aeroplane would be landing.

In order to używamy w przypadkach, kiedy cel działania skierowany jest na podmiot: He earned money in order to survive - Zarabiał pieniądze, by przetrwać (cel skierowany na niego samego). So that używamy w sytuacjach, kiedy cel działania jest skierowany na osoby inne niż podmiot: He earned the money so that you could survive - Zarabiał pieniądze, byś ty mógł przeżyć (cel skierowany na kogoś innego, niż on sam). in spite of - pomimo Nie mylić z despite, które ma identyczne znaczenie, lecz występuje bez of: In spite of this, we can continue = Despite this, we can continue (a nie despite of this). at the front - z przodu, w przedniej części Nie mylić z in front of - przed There is a car in front of the house - Przed domem jest samochód.

(nie zaś until I will come back) I told you to stay there until I came back - Powiedziałem ci byś tam pozostał, aż wrócę. (W następstwie czasu typu I told you that..., I said that... etc. czas teraźniejszy zamienia się na przeszły, stąd też until I come back uległo zmanie na until I came back) would - określa dany zwyczaj w przeszłości When our grandfather lived, he would always get up at five o’clock and watch the sunrise - Kiedy dziadek żył, zawsze wstawał o piątej i oglądał wschód słońca.

W tym przypadku would ma podobne znaczenie do used to: He used to get up at five and watch the sunrise. They used to play poker until they fell asleep.

Nie powiedziała (Nie chciała powiedzieć). I couldn’t come. The car wouldn’t start. Nie mogłem przyjechać.

PART TWO to advise sb. to do sth., (can’t) afford to do sth., aware (ness), a battle, can’t help doing sth., to/a cause, a countryside, the court, to create, a crowd, to dare, to do away with, to do one’s best, due to, to enter, extinct, to fine, a flood, to get in touch, to hurry, instead of, to look for, a loss, to matter, maybe, miserable, an offence, to offend, otherwise, to pick sb. up, pleased, to punish, quick, to remind sb. of sth., responsibility, to spare, to suffer, to switch on, unforgettable, The different climate did not affect Itosu’s mood too much, though he could feel it in his bones that he was abroad. But it was not due to the air pressure or weather conditions. For him, the American countryside was similar to that of Japan. What affected his mood was the awareness of the size of his responsibility, as he called it. To get the jewel back was not an easy job, even for a Honshu fighter. He knew he could not afford to let his family down. The sight of the American countryside reminded him of the new situation. He was going abroad for a battle against the enemies of his family. And this was his main concern, not the different climate. For Jet Itosu, America looked like his own country because he treated the whole world as one. ‘Let’s not think of details’ - he thought to himself – ‘they don’t matter. What matters is the spirit. The strength is in the spirit, not in geography’. He always stressed the importance of the spirit, and he wanted to do his best to take care of his spiritual development. He was not afraid of earthquakes or floods. What he was afraid of was people’s self-destruction. ‘If people did not destroy the environment, maybe the earth would spare them’ - he kept talking to himself in his thoughts – ‘The earth will punish people on behalf of God if they continue to bring destruction on our planet. And destruction seems to be their favourite activity. Earthquakes and floods are earth’s only weapon against people. They have developed their skills of destruction so much that they have forgotten how to create, how to build. If people want to stay alive on this planet, they will have to take care of peace instead of talking about it. Otherwise they will soon be extinct, just like the large number of animal species which they have destroyed.’ He couldn’t help thinking in this way. He was just entering the country which had defeated him at war with the new weapon half a century before. His father had lost his brother then. He often switched on the TV in order to stop thinking about that tragic past of his family. It really was a past full of disasters and miserable experiences. In spite of the long time that had passed, he still couldn’t help thinking about it. When somebody happened to mention the past, he would just remain silent for some time and eventually say ‘You have put on weight, haven’t you’ in order to change the subject. Jet Itosu felt personally touched by the unforgettable experiences of the past. The loss of the family’s jewel had made him suffer. Jet suddenly felt the weight of his own body. He looked out of the window - the plane had just landed. The passengers were all very happy to have arrived safely. The little Japanese girl who looked like a doll was smiling, the priest had just finished praying and one of the soldiers had just fallen asleep without putting out his cigarette. Although the plane had landed, it was still moving with some speed, so the passengers had to have their seat belts fastened until the plane stopped. Eventually the door was opened and the passengers started leaving the plane. Everybody was doing their best not to forget their hand-luggage – as you can’t afford to lose your documents when you are abroad. After leaving the plane, Itosu saw another plane which was just taking off. And there was another plane parked next to his, where people were boarding. It looked like a large monument it is hard to imagine that this thing would soon rise to ten kilometres above the ground. There was 8 a large crowd of people in the airport’s main building and it was easy to get lost. This place reminded him of the Japanese capital. He couldn’t help imagining he was in Tokyo. Jet looked for a telephone as he had to let his brother know that he was in Chicago. He entered the airport’s post office, put the magnetic card inside and phoned his brother. Sean Itosu was born in America and their parents had given him an English first name. At this moment he was not aware of Jet’s arrival, but he had been doing his best to get in touch with him so that his brother could tell him exactly when he was coming. Sean was not quite like Jet, and he certainly did not look like him. Although it would be difficult to compare their appearances, their personalities immediately showed that they had something in common. Both of them were very quick in making decisions, both of them would do anything in order to reach their aims and both of them would punish anybody who would dare to offend their country or their family. And stealing a gift from the Emperor was an offence. A serious one. - Here you are at last - said Sean - I’m so pleased to hear from you. Why didn’t you let me know you were coming today? - I wasn’t sure until the very last minute whether I’d be leaving today or next week - Jet answered - but I hope it’s no trouble. - Certainly not. I’ll be there in half an hour to pick you up. I may be a bit late, though. - It doesn’t matter. Don’t hurry. I know you like speed and are sometimes impatient to get where you are going, but you know we can’t afford to lose our brother in an accident. - Very funny. - See you in half an hour, then. Sean always created problems for the family and always caused trouble. A car crash, a fight with a drunk soldier, a bag full of family photographs lost in dirty water because he was helping somebody caught in a flood, a ticket to pay because he was fined for parking his car in the middle of the road instead of in the car park, or even a court sentence because he had once dared to offend a famous politician. He was of poor health. Jet often said that his brother’s organism was punishing him for smoking and advised him to do away with this bad habit. Sean would defend himself by saying that his poor health was not due to smoking. He said it was because of the American countryside, which was so different from that of Japan. And this was one more difference between these two men, who otherwise were often similar. For Jet it was all the same, while for Sean the countryside was very different. Sean did pay attention to details.

Zauważmy, że bezpośrednio po can’t help występuje czasownik w formie gerundialnej: She couldn’t help laughing - Nie mogła powstrzymać się od śmiechu (od śmiania się). Samo I can’t help it oznacza zaś Nic na to nie poradzę. due to - z powodu: It was not due to geography. To nie było spowodowane geografią. Due to illness, Prof. Watkins cannot give his lecture. Z powodu choroby, prof. Watkins nie może wygłosić wykładu. happen to... - przypadkowo coś zrobić When somebody happened to mention the past, he would just remain silent...

Utrata rodzinnego klejnotu sprawiała, że cierpiał. I made him go there - Sprawiłem, że tam poszedł. You make me cry - Przez ciebie płaczę. Zauważmy, że po make występuje najpierw dopełnienie (him, her, me, John, people etc.) a następnie czasownik w formie prostej (nie poprzedzony to ani bez przyrostka -ing): I made him go there - Sprawiłem, że tam poszedł (kazałem mu). They made us join them - Sprawili, byśmy się do nich przyłączyli. Kiedy zdanie zamienimy na stronę bierną, czasownik występuje bezpośrednio po make i jest pełnym bezokolicznikiem (poprzedzony to): He was made to go there - Zmuszono go, by tam poszedł. We were made to join them - Zmuszono nas, byśmy się do nich przyłączyli. porównaj: I made him send the letter - He was made to send the letter She made me help her - I was made to help her in common - wspólne They had a lot in common - Mieli wiele wspólnego.

He could see aeroplanes taking off and disappearing in the clouds above the city. He did not have much luggage with him, so he could afford to spend the time carelessly. The crowd of people was a part of the unforgettable ‘countryside’ of that city. But in spite of being overcrowded, the airport reminded him of what people called ‘the silent island’ - his favourite place in his hometown where people went in order to have a rest. Sometimes so many people entered the area that it looked like an airport. That’s why Jet associated the airport with that place. Members of the Itosu family were especially attracted by that place because it gave them a sense of being together. Indeed, instead of suffering after their painful past experiences and locking themselves up, spending the days indoors, they preferred to say to each other ‘Let’s go somewhere nice and breathe the fresh air’. Jet couldn’t help thinking about his family and about his sense of belonging to it. Each place he visited reminded him of something from his homeland. He would always do his best to give a proof that he was worth his family’s trust. ‘People like you have gone extinct’ - some of his friends used to tell him, but he was used to hearing jokes of this kind. Everybody knew that if one acted on behalf of one’s family, one must be relied on. Of course, some people considered it to be rather old-fashioned and advised Jet to forget about ‘something that belonged to past centuries’, and he sometimes felt like punishing them for that ‘ugly attitude’, but he would soon forget about that, thinking that he just must put up with it. ‘But it’s a disaster worse than an earthquake when the new generation cannot respect their fathers’ - he said to himself in a low voice – ‘we should do away with this’. When he was having this walk and considering his relationship with his motherland, he witnessed a strange scene: three tall and strongly-built men suddenly attacked a woman, beating her and taking her handbag. They did it with such strength that all the other people were afraid to react. This made Jet think about the young generation: ‘Why are the young people turning to the bad ways? Certainly, they have bad patterns from others. TV only shows violence and sex, schools brainwash instead of teaching, parents are busy working and keep their kids busy by putting them in front of the computer screen and false religious leaders claim they are gods, at the same time making fun of true religion. Moral authority is being laughed at and stupid or false messages are being promoted under the word tolerance. Anything which is different is being supported even if it is harmful, while everything which has been traditionally accepted is being faught against. And later we have such bad guys who can’t respect others.’ Seeing the attackers beat the lady, Itosu decided to step in. - Have you got a light? - he said to one of them. - You’d better go away while you are alive, or else I’ll get rid of you, old man - said one of the attackers. - I didn’t mean to offend you - said Itosu - I just feel like having a cigarette and I hoped that perhaps you could help me light my cigarette. Did I say something wrong? 15 you will be dead in a minute. .

A very funny sight: a woman lying on the ground.the woman said.a voice could be heard from some distance .said Jet . I didn’t do anything wrong to them .You all have put on too much weight .asked the officer.Thank you so much. Suddenly one of the three men took out some sharp weapon and tried to hurt Itosu. This scene had already attracted the attention of the crowd who suddenly surrounded them.It’s high time we stopped making this scene . I don’t understand this.asked Sean. three cruel bandits who were holding her handbag and a Japanese who wouldn’t give up asking them for a light.Itosu said to the woman. .

At this moment. He knew it was not his job to punish people . You guys look miserable. . my brother! .

When the three men attacked him at the same time.and I see you have already got involved in social interaction.he would not put himself in the place of God. .

I would have lost it. . He tried to hit Itosu in the face with his fist. 16 . but he did not succeed in doing so. . making it impossible for his attacker to hurt him.You see. . the woman and the three men were surrounded by the police. .My pleasure. but after a few seconds the three criminals were lying on the ground.said Itosu. as if nothing unusual was going on . . .Sean!

They promised him that he would not remain alive for long. His enemies could no longer put up with him.and he also produces weapon parts. He only managed to get through to the police to report that there was trouble with some terrorists. on condition that he gave them a visible proof of his friendship: the jewel. They did away with him so quickly that they forgot to make him tell them where he was keeping the jewel. collecting all the information was not easy.

Otherwise it could be a waste of time for you if I happened to be absent. Each clerk in the Embassy was obedient to such rules. However.asked Sean . if you and your staff were not so hard-working. . They live with each other without being married and leave the other person when they are bored.Sure. It is as if I was listening to someone who is drunk when I hear such an explanation of their behaviour. The true meaning of life as such has been distorted. Present-day movies and media teach people all the bad things: people later want to have more and more money and they work very hard all their life to get it and they are still busy while they are dying. He didn’t contradict himself. the Itosu brothers were served another drink by the waiter.It’s a matter of taste . The same bad things happened to all the great civilisations a few thousand years ago and. Our civilisation has been built up on strong moral principles. You will excuse me now. In order not to offend his guests. And nature is not either respected or obeyed any more. And his interest in women would lead you in the wrong way.Do you think he was hiding something from us? .. as he put it. hasn’t it? . forgetting that the money will not be useful any more.But let us not discuss it here.But I doubt whether he would bother to take care of so many things if he only wanted to cheat us. And our civilisation will suffer because people have been manipulated into believing that all the bad things which I have mentioned are good.he answered . gentlemen.But everybody knows that Japan lost the final battle during the war. 48 . More and more people think they can kill another human being under certain conditions and they have made it legal. The bad fruits of our activities are. but too much is always bad. let me say a few words about it. And there is one word which gives people the right to do just anything: tolerance. . destruction of the natural world or some civilisational diseases. Sean suggested that they should speak in whisper because walls could have ears.It depends..That is? . They are taught that they can achieve anything in their life on condition that they are strong enough to fight with others. . or sometimes even killed.Liberalism.he asked Jet. then. such as AIDS.I told you to cut down on smoking and drinking wine . And I don’t think he made up the whole story. It is one out of many things which are leading the young generation in the wrong way. By destroying them we will destroy our civilisation. Since we mention this issue. He is doing his best to help us.But wine has always been around. And remember that cheap wine is always bad. People are treated like pets which are to be bought or sold. he would not have known about so many important details. Let’s not talk about James Bond. The same may happen to our civilisation.you won’t keep fit in the way James Bond did if you eat what he ate. This later leads to lack of respect for others. they all were destroyed by fruits of their activities. . I must now head off for the Business Club.he was anxious to join another important meeting. because those who created him in the movies are doing a very destructive job.I hope you will accept my invitation to come again. but I am expected to take part in a meeting. They are also taught that love only means sex. His description of the jewel was correct. .An Embassy official who has such a post needs to be able to pretend a lot. he said: . I will be looking forward to seeing you. . . . where I will be speaking on behalf of the Ambassador. Sataro’s impatience was visible . If he had created the whole story. so I wouldn’t accuse him of cheating.Jet interrupted him . And they forget about those things which would be useful. . I can see it. as a result of the evil. for example. He knew how it had come about that we lost the Honshu Jewel.. After a while. Why should you have recommended him to me in the first place? . The carpet is clear. I knew he had a friendly attitude. what tells you he is being honest? .You are now contradicting yourself.It is our family who recommended Sataro for our co-operation.He was recommended by the Ministry. I don’t understand why you suspect him. OK.The expression on his face. How could they have missed the call? Secondly. that you are accusing him wrongly.He says that he tried to give you a ring but he couldn’t get through. .Don’t change the subject! I tell you. But I hope you will take no offence if I tell you. and so is Sataro. why did you make this appointment with him before you picked me up at the airport? Why didn’t you tell me to expect a dishonest official? .You are right. You say that our family gets on with the Government quite well.I’m fed up with this. there is always somebody at home. This is due to your Americanisation.I can see that it’s not worth trying to convince you.You seem to be insisting on telling me that he’s got a dishonest purpose on mind. . And look. Could you switch on the light? I want everything to be clearly visible. He learned about it all after you had made the appointment. because if it did it wouldn’t be within everybody’s easy reach. he has arranged everything for us. he is up to something. He was acting quickly.Anyway. . I think he would like us to find the jewel and then he will try to do away with us. no electronic equipment in or under it . you have the right to have your doubts. he will not avoid being punished. I’m fed up with this. I have grown out of suspecting all the people of conspiring against me. my brother.What do you mean? .Do you fancy another drink? .Are you protecting him? What causes you to behave in this way? I will beat you up if you fail to take good care of our business . Is this not exaggerated? I tell you. A moment ago you stressed that he was acting on behalf of the Government people who are trying to give us a hand. . I am foreign here. he says that a smuggler or somebody earning their living on illegal trade brought the jewel to America. ..Don’t exaggerate. . He had arranged everything . The moment I entered this room and saw him. . either. He will not escape suffering if he is not being honest with us. This way you may accuse people with no reason. .he said with a grin . But if you don’t trust him. . He is helping us because he knows our family. I get a fever when I hear this.Exactly. .Because it was his lecture that I didn’t like. He is making a lot of effort to help us. . As far as I know.the parcel on that shelf over there contains nothing dangerous.said Sean and reached out for a book which was lying on the shelf . he is trying out some psychological tricks on us.I promise you that if he dares to play cat and mouse with us. You are especially keen on suspecting that anybody whom you see is an enemy. and now you are saying Sataro 49 . This is just like another Agatha Christie story. And what about that Soto Yabu? Sataro didn’t even seem to know exactly what the man was doing there. You want to tell me that he is playing his own game and that the Ambassador thinks he is helping us? .what’s this?

The fence had barbed wire on its top so that no thieves could get in. out of the blue. but creating the impression of an earthquake. and the kiosk owner looked out of the window to see what was going on but saw only smoke. It was a police car. ‘Why do they put on so much weight?’ . The police were already there. fortunately not hurting anybody. So they headed for the nearest bookshop (they called it bookstore). ‘They don’t know how to show off ‘. ‘Why don’t they throw it to the dustbin? ‘ . They went past a corner and saw a large office building with a guard at the gate. . with its engine roaring like a lion. I’m not in favour of wasting any more time.I’d rather you didn’t interrupt me.

But entertainment is not our goal.Slow down. Next time you want me to take you somewhere. .one of the men said to the driver . Then they went on foot through a part of the town because Jet wanted to have a look at the American landscape. Then the first car which was trying to escape the police didn’t make the turning and drove into an exhibition with some kitchen tools. but they were very fat.You surely knew I wouldn’t let you down.Can’t you boys practise somewhere else? . But it was too late to escape.I told you to fasten your seatbelt! Now let’s get out of here. . After five minutes they were out on the street.I’m going to fall asleep. you will need to promise that you will be completely obedient.Never before have I seen such a hot-blooded Itosu.

Interesting and impressive lecture. The car ran into a plastic Statue of Liberty standing on the pavement. Then they passed an open-air market with lots of people selling something or buying something and a lot of pieces of paper scattered round the place. Sean said: . Three men got out of the car and the ruined shop. there was a cross-roads and a small car park behind it.

At this moment. The other two criminals were led out by the ear too.Never mind .And don’t threaten me with a gun which is out of order . .it’s ten miles south of town. A taxi had just stopped.Let’s report to the police .Jet asked the criminal. You need to learn to distinguish between good and evil.the driver said.said the other . watching violence and sex or in front of a computer screen.it is in the car! . but in order to hide this sense of shame they turned around and ran away. one of them pulled out a gun and threatened the driver to shoot him if he didn’t obey them: . hit the other officer and the three men began to run away.Learn to respect people who are older than you . Itosu and his brother were standing peacefully and watching what was going on.buy yourself a new one when you grow up.Raise your hands and don’t move! .

What do you want? . throwing the weapon into the dustbin. Let’s try it out to make sure.the driver said..you are under arrest! Then one of the policemen recognised one of the criminals.You kid need skills if you want to handle a gun . And they behave like this later on’. .there must be some justice! 70 .said the taxi driver. let me know. .Browson? It’s two years since I saw you.

So maybe they don’t want to show off with their business? But why? Let me guess’ . His brother was doing it all out of curiosity.Would you like to lose weight? . so they climbed over the fence and got in. . Sean said to Jet in low voice: 78 .What could go wrong? . a thunder. I’ll prevent you from getting into trouble. no complaining about aching legs . A failure was something they could well do without. No unexpected event must take place.nothing unusual..

And you can’t enter the building without a uniform. perhaps.Turn around . I won’t let you offend me any more. He was carrying a briefcase and he seemed anxious to meet someone.Wait a moment. .. We are not here to find out if they are smugglers or if their staff are getting involved in something illegal. . They found several worn-out uniforms and they put on two of them. After opening one of the cardboard boxes. See that guard behind those trees? He can’t discover our presence. isn’t it? .You have a poor memory.I’ll go inside the warehouse and examine it. He even came up with the idea of putting off their mission and heading for the store-rooms to find out what was hidden there. boss.Listen. you can keep an eye on this hard-working kid over there.And this here is a dustbin . So they went inside together. I guess it’s from the street or the surroundings. they will eat me like lions! Must I remind you of your responsibilities? I have been so thoughtful to you as to give you an opportunity in life. . or a guard. but it seemed to be out of order because it was covered with dust. I was so generous to you and you were not faithful! . But Sean couldn’t help wondering what this place was all about. . . If my customers notice that I can’t handle my own business. They hid behind the machine which was out of order. but not my customer any more. only dirty pieces of wood and paper.look.the miserable man said . justice would have sent you to prison.Pardon? 79 . You could be a hairdresser. Sean said: . their claims are just wrong because. I’m the boss here and you are to be obedient to me because you are my ‘part-time employee’. We must dress up in the right way so that nobody could recognise us.My customers are waiting for what I owe them! We must do away with such behaviour! You just can’t let people down who depend on you. . A man appeared from behind the door. but he didn’t even dare to advise this to his brother. but it turns out to be a waste of time. There were a lot cardboard boxes there.did you think you could cheat me or run away? A small clerk like you can’t just benefit from my business and then escape without paying off your debts. strange sound..don’t you remember who saved you from court five years ago? If it hadn’t been for me.But it’s only a temporary shortage. friend .Let’s see what they contain. Instead of wasting our time punishing criminals for crime.Shut up! I know that you threatened them! You promised that you would be helpful to them and honest with me as the owner. You will never grow up to be able to handle trade. Must be some loud vehicle. . He looked miserable . . There was some kind of machine there. In the meantime. .No. Someone switched on the light.as if he was in a hurry and was suffering from a headache.. we must look for the jewel.These are cans with some liquid. Suddenly one of the doors opened. and what do I see? I was looking forward to getting from you what you owed me and you now claim that you are short of money? . Then there was a sound of another door opening and a voice could be heard. Jet wondered. . they first have a friendly chat with you. they employ dozens of full-time guards and tough guys who will notice you wherever you hide. You know what he did? He stole my property. But next time get in touch with me before you decide to leave town with my property.Yes. It’s the office where the jewel is locked up. . . . . He ended up riding clouds because he had stolen the Japanese jewel from me. You will overtake him if you disappoint me too. Frank.. you are an ordinary thief and you will probably end up facing a crowd of tough guys. There were pieces of smashed glass on the pavement. And it was in the suburbs . we’ll get it back and we’ll get the whole thing over with. hardly had they set off on their excursion and the solution came to them. that’s a racing sport for kids who let me down.Henry’s? He was. you can hardly hope you can escape. As they followed the man along the edge of another long store. he was also astonished that. Sean was frightened and suddenly had a toothache and felt like calling off the whole expedition.I’m pleased they are so helpful. And. so he didn’t suggest anything.If we follow him. Having said this. No excuse for such people. You will work in Henry’s office.Yeah. My employees are supposed to be reliable. width and height reminded them of the Toshiba stores in Japan or Paris. He always collected small things from the places which he visited.Yes. An awful mistake. be sure. I will spare you only thanks to that. Jet whispered to Sean: .that was the question.. but his curiosity grew stronger and stronger. They were just about to find out the answer. But if you turn out to go wrong a dozen times. His wrist was still aching and he looked miserable in the worn-out suit. the ‘boss’ went out. didn’t we? .That was an unforgettable day.Riding clouds? . It was an interesting experience to be just about to enter the room in which the Mafia had done away with the man who had not paid his debt to them.Sean said. But. Why do they do all 80 . he will lead us to his office. they regard you as a failure. Dressed up as the factory’s employees. that is. They followed the man along some kind of pavement first and then passed some kind of storeroom. What were they going to discover in the office? . ‘How did it come about that we heard this conversation? ‘ ..a place where any event could take place without being noticed. Unless you are an Itosu. The place was typical of a factory: enormous buildings whose length.When the judge asked if anybody had anything more to say. . they saw huge cans with some sort of drug-like liquid in them. he was killed in his own office. The ‘miserable’ man went back to the door. If you disappoint them. And they probably would object to having uninvited and unexpected guests within their territory. Jet picked up one piece to examine it carefully. keeping an eye on everything which surrounded them.Jet thought . ‘This could be an urgent message for the police’ . They never change their mind. If you enter their property without their invitation and if you are caught red-handed searching their warehouses and store-rooms.‘we could just give them a ring or something like that. But he knew Jet would be too tough to give in.We ran into them in a way. It was his own fault. the Itosu brothers moved gently and quietly following the man. remember what I said? .

Sean looked out of the window and saw a strange vehicle pull up in front of the gate. The walls of the room started shaking slightly.

Such things do occur.Now it’s time to get angry. . Sean was standing with his mouth wide open. the plaster keeps falling off and hitting your head. it must be very old..

They already knew where the man from the office lived because. I’ll give you a piece of advice: obey Japanese gentlemen and you’ll be all right.Jet whispered to Sean. He looked desperate: . Itosu continued: . I can’t get this radio-set to work properly. I’m doing this because I am trying to be faithful to my Government and my family. This is our so-called democracy. Let’s get a souvenir . but I can’t make friends with any of them. Our mother used to take similar stuff when she coughed a lot.Ever since the last theft occurred. he said to the driver: . Scientists must invent a tool to prevent thieves from stealing once and for all.the driver said. I will return it to you. You know why?

I wouldn’t like to be rude. I once left a note at the nearby police station and they promised that safety would improve one day. The man seemed neither frightened nor upset. but you must excuse my taking your lorry. son? Get out or you will end up wearing plaster all over your body.Good afternoon. Itosu was running out of patience: . How can they reduce the level of crime if 100 . Either he had a lot of courage to face Itosu the way he did or he hardly realised who was speaking to him. apparently unnoticed by the receptionist.Did you hear me. Don’t be so obstinate because I can’t put up with a boy who is a nuisance. The man continued: . Of course. He appeared to be deaf. even if you are a tough Itosu. so I’ll be brief. the damage is still visible on the volume knob. they did not deserve to be called burglars or thieves. Their yard behind the police station hasn’t been cleaned ever since the plaster fell off the back wall. They are such easy-going people. probably because he had chewing gum in his mouth. but he knew they had just discovered something interesting and they preferred not to leave fingerprints. They are a nightmare for me but I will hunt for them one day. Sean could not distinguish ordinary white powder from a drug. but Jet was always in favour of careful behaviour.

I don’t feel like lending my lorry to somebody just because he stops me at the cross-roads and tells me to get out. One of them once tried to pick up a girl by reading a poem to her and you know what she told him? . Although the man was facing danger (because Jet was threatening him). chewing his gum and waving his hand at Jet as if he were an annoying fly.No problem.You’ve got it .Pardon? Ah. how can I expect that you will return me my property if I don’t even know you? You are not my employer to give me such orders. you are a nice chap. You tell me that you have something important to see to. Please leave. Nonsense.You are making up the whole story . we must be going now. They claim they are creative. And he was supposed to be afraid . just to make sure he had heard the man correctly. ‘What is this strange guy saying?’ . but you will have to buy me a beer. because you would use half of my petrol and wouldn’t pay for it. . to be brief. but we need to borrow it from you. why shouldn’t I give him a hand and take them to Mass?

If it were more similar to a triangle. Secondly. The man was not afraid of him but behaved in such a way that he would not dare to harm him. There is one problem. Itosu’s attitude changed suddenly. And I am not afraid of you. he would look like Gorbatchev.So you’ll give us a lift? .You are a foreign visitor.Jet added. I can see that you are a reliable customer. Now listen: you need my help. so you don’t probably know what our customs are all about the driver continued .asked Sean.Tomorrow is Sunday and I live far from the church. The expression on the driver’s face told him that the man was getting up to something.But only one beer . but don’t believe it. . though. How will I get there on time?

You will have to withdraw this time. for instance. Unlikely as it seemed at first. Get lost! . he began to regard that fellow as an interesting person.Sean thought. I’ll give you a hand because I see that you are in need.Sean asked. He could not help asking the driver: . Firstly. You only chose the wrong way of impressing me.

He then gently touched the man’s forehead.but I’ll do the sightseeing on my own.black market. You don’t deserve death. ‘He will recover in fifteen minutes’ . Those who knew him better realised that he was jealous of his father’s skills. But in spite of all this. You are a very hard-working person.

Jet admired his own abilities at such moments. a machine gun in his hand. The sight of twenty killers didn’t frighten him at all. It could be said that he imitated his father. The armed men were running across the pavement. He was looking forward to having an opportunity to give his motherland what he owed Her. skills and he regarded himself as smart. an honest man. But I didn’t come here to deal with smugglers . ‘These kids apparently want to lose weight’ .the man said in a pretentious voice.‘Providing that I did it correctly’. Jet kicked the gun out of the man’s hand.‘The old ones used to be better’. hasn’t he?’ . Moreover. my friend . One of the attackers. His jaw moved sideways. because he was acting on behalf of Japan: he was the guard of his family’s justice. He did it so fast that the man hardly noticed it. The man first felt some sour taste on his tongue and after five seconds fell asleep. ‘The driver of our vehicle has hidden in the surroundings. Some of them came through the gate. because it’s not you who stole the jewel.Glad you arrived on time. Then Jet turned around.the driver said to himself and annoyingly made his way to the house.Jet said and slightly touched the attacker’s stomach. so what wrong could happen to him? He was working abroad and he couldn’t let his family down . The lorry in which they had arrived was empty.It’s generous of you to offer that . Suddenly the window smashed and someone flew in. Several men with some strange weapons in their hands got out of a lorry.I’m coming without invitation. so they did not mention this issue too often.a man said. Another attacker jumped from behind a wardrobe and threw a typewriter at Itosu. stepping his feet lazily . Suddenly he heard the door slam. He leant down and the typewriter flew over his head. We may talk when you have improved. Members of his family could notice that he took after him. who was wearing gloves and looked like a ghost.God wouldn’t let anybody harm him. . . and he saw another man fly in through the second window. The gun hit the wall so strongly that a piece of plaster fell off. I’m here to get a gift back. roaring like a lion. always trouble with you’ .Jet calmed himself down . It was not until his hands were empty that he realised it. But then he heard a car pull up outside the house and he looked out of the smashed window so as to see what was going on. ‘I’m so fast that I am myself scared’ – he thought to himself. they are very likely to benefit from it. rubbing the floor with his left knee. The level of blood pressure in Jet’s veins went up immediately. How did you find out our whereabouts? . When he did this. some others jumped over the fence. .Itosu answered .Shall I show you round? . Having said that. 110 . But eventually he would see that his enemy could be an obstacle in his progress. trouble. even better than himself. the lorry driver said: . Another ninja jumped towards him in order to kick him. The ninja fell on the floor.A man with a razor in his hand approached Itosu and waved it at him in order to hurt him. holding his stomach and hitting the ninja with his elbow as if unintentionally. .the lorry driver said. He would have to invent something.Where did you practise? You are better than myself.Sure. . The driver then coughed again.I’m pleased to hear that.said Jet when he saw that he was finding it more and more difficult to defend himself against the ever growing number of attackers. In the meantime. .I thought I would keep you company . When he fell. One of the ninjas tried to hit the newcomer in the head. but just at this moment he coughed and leant slightly forward.It’s very thoughtful of you to be so helpful . he suddenly tripped over and fell on the floor.he said to him. . Seeing it. ‘Shall I see you off?’ . but he moved to the side and the attacker flew out of the window. .You’d better retire because you can’t handle it. and when another two ninjas charged at him. And he did it in such a funny way. The typewriter missed him and hit another ninja who was just about to attack Itosu. .the driver answered .Don’t joke . but Itosu said: . as if troubled by disease. What an extraordinary sort of man you are! I’m anxious to learn something more about you. ‘I’m sorry.None of us three may be able to cope with it .he said to them as they fell on the floor. and the ninja’s fist missed.and hit the floor with such strength that it shook as if there was an earthquake. .Let me know when you need my help.he thought ‘But let’s not be reckless and let’s take it easy. another ten men surrounded him and charged at the same time. . The man fell on the floor and lay there in silence. He didn’t know how it came about.I can’t let them hurt me’.Do you think they will recover? . which must have been quite out of order by that time. but you are astonishing me. appearing in the room just out of the blue. I’m sorry’ . did we? They will wake up in five minutes.but I’d rather you headed for safety while you are still alive.the lorry driver said. but a kung-fu champion. He had just defended Jet against twenty ninjas.the driver said again. He began to regret entering the house when he realised that he wouldn’t be able to defend himself. ‘That’s a hard nut for me’ .I can’t be compared to you. ‘O. saying ‘I’m sorry’. but after a while he was surrounded by a dozen of ninjas. fellow. the two ninjas attacking him collided head-on and unintentionally hit each other. But from this moment on Jet could hardly handle the situation.Jet asked the driver. Five of the ninjas attacked Itosu at the same time and he could hardly gather strength to defend himself. The driver was clearly having fun apologising to his attackers. holding his stomach as if in pain. approaching Itosu and the men who were attacking him. and threw it at the driver.Jet answered . kid .I can see that my help is an urgent matter . how stupid of me’ . My business will be delayed by a few days if I don’t get down to work today . 111 . but just at this moment the driver sneezed and again leant forward. one from the front and one from behind. we didn’t beat them. Another ninja picked up the typewriter. The driver then got up from under them and as if unintentionally hit their chins with his shoulders. But I told you at the cross-roads: I have agreed to help you and that’s what I’m doing. . By this time Jet had realised that his ‘partner’ was not an ordinary driver. After five minutes all the attackers were asleep. slow down.is it not time we took a rest? I have just defended you against fifty dangerous ninjas.What about my beer? . it’s my brother. He got lost. . . I don’t drink wine. The lorry driver was a hard nut for Itosu. for example sneezing. far better than Jet himself. innocent. fellow.I can see now that there is no shortage of gentleman in America. quite unlike his brother. saw them off. scratched. on me.Jet said .My history is not your concern.

It had been a busy day for Itosu. But now let’s find our parttime guard. but in fact he did it hopelessly.we must explain the mystery once and for all. And he was as hopeless as he was innocent.

When he was caught red-handed breaking into the house of their country’s enemy. teenage.the driver said. one of whom was his brother and one their new friend. He could not cope properly with the small things which he was supposed to see to. The big problem was that Sean was anxious to imitate Jet. a mystery. But today Sean was not imitating.You must be coming from a remote place .but in my lifetime I haven’t met a person like you. However. namely. Those were the moments when Jet amused himself. to impose. But his art doesn’t appeal to me.An artist? . Jet only told him to take it easy. parallel. remote. obvious. to pick a quarrel. Everybody was very likely to notice that Sean was an ordinary man. . But he did not bother to say that he objected to it.PART THIRTEEN to admire. In the meantime Jet and his ‘newly made friend’ were having a philosophical sort of chat. He sometimes picked a quarrel with somebody on purpose in order to try out his brother’s tricks. a message. Were I to decide.but no. He once only gave him a piece of advice . unintentionally starting their long discussion related to art.Jet said. a meaning. to find one’s way somewhere. Was it because he was so reckless or so innocent? .Arky joked . the globe. to think over. present-day.Others don’t call me at all. . Now I am living next door to a nearby sculptor. he was annoyed by the fact that his brother had made friends with that stranger who pretended to be a lorry driver. a lawyer.Sort of.Jet began . narrow-minded. to attach. irrelevant. to separate the wheat from the chaff. and that’s just because he preferred going on foot to taking a bus.Sounds like ‘remote planet’ . a bruise. well-known. selfish. wisdom For Sean it was heaven: All through the afternoon he was supposed to look after two men.namely.Jet sometimes wondered. lifetime. of whom they were both so proud. heaven.I wouldn’t like to impose anything on you . particular. so why bother. He had an opportunity to improve his image: one of his fellows was a well-known karate champion from Japan and the other ‘something even more of a mystery’. When he eventually made fun of himself.said Arky. as he thought. Important meetings were sometimes delayed by an hour because he did not bring important documents on time. It’s not that they were not capable of taking care of themselves. Arky’s forehead moved slightly and so did the rectangle-like scar on it when he spoke. a tip of the iceberg. . because he knew that Jet took after their father. an image. it was Sean who really needed looking after. in charge. Him and his new friend. triangle. to urge. to appeal. . to reject. to tell apart. .Some people call me Arky . twins. He was keeping Jet company. historical records. a mess. to look after. I come from the same globe as you do. Or perhaps narrow-minded . but his job was to make sure that they found their way to the right restaurant and got the right food. I would pull down all their so-called ‘art-centres’ . to pull down. to get rid of his white gloves in which he looked like a ghost.And others? . But it was only the tip of the iceberg. But the problem is that this generation can’t tell art from rubbish.Jet urged. Similarly. and tell the teenage art student that it was typical of this or that particular style in history.This is astonishing . barbed wire around his wrist.Jet interrupted . Even if you have doubts about something or you are not convinced that a piece of art has value. It’s a complete failure.I’m desperate to find out what you mean by ideological purposes . Present-day artists think they are creative and they attach a lot of philosophy to their paintings.this contradicts true art. Having said that. At least here. and then continued: . . You know why they insist on doing it? If you don’t have true artists. But what do you see there? I’m embarrassed when I look at it. They call it abstraction.I must think it over. . If I were in charge. And it’s so obvious. we find out a lot about the past. grabbing Arky’s elbow.I don’t think we should. There are so many smart lawyers here and they can’t see it.I wish I were. You only see mess..But pieces of art are useful historical records for the generations to come . They just can’t tell it all apart the way you can’t tell twins apart. . But sure. I can’t help having the impression that we are living in a totalitarian world. but it is hopelessly empty and meaningless. If you are young you will expect some hidden wisdom in it.But entertainment and art are not traditionally associated with ideological pressure.You must be courageous if you want to give honest opinions. but I’ll do my best to be brief. You just want to remind them of history and trends. when our scientists take a good lens and study the historical records from the past centuries. True art is already meant for the coffin. not because it has beauty in it. They are too narrow-minded. . . that’s what they paint. .What a nuisance it is when people don’t obey the rules of true art.You seem to be an obstinate man. everybody can be made into one. I have found out that it’s simply going wrong. it’s fair even if the art is miserable.Will you tell me at last? .It’s quite a complex issue about that art. I would separate the wheat from the chaff.It would be selfish to destroy it. but because it is useful ideologically. who jumped on his chair. We ought not to question the idea of objective truth.That’s funny. But the socalled present-day art often contains no meaning. it’s not visible for lawyers. as it were. you are expected to admire it because otherwise you will have to withdraw from the profession? . .Jet said .Jet urged again. They only can tell you what dishonest things you can do legally. Don’t you think we should do away with the objective truth in art? . It’s as easy as that. Professors advise their arts students to join in because they cannot afford to reject this fashion if they want to get on well with all the people from the profession. Arky sneezed. If you paint a portrait of an unpleasant-looking face with the veins out on the neck and the forehead covered with bruises. frightening Sean. Perhaps you are exaggerating? . . They organise excursions and exhibitions and show that nothing to this generation. but if you are lucky you will notice that it turns out to be little more than chaff. and arts professors nod with respect and say ‘that’s beautiful’. You can hardly identify any meaningful shapes there. Two lines against white background and three black spots. no message. They tell teenage students to admire this chaff. telling them that they are supposed to admire it. It’s thought to be meaningful. But most people have been brainwashed into believing that such rubbish does have artistic meaning. 124 . You are obedient to the rules of teaching. Some are fed up with it. . You know why? . .When you believe in chaos. Curiosity is typical of the young mind.Protecting? . 125 . The same happens with art. .Because God lives and creates in order. some of them are playing cat and mouse with us and somebody is protecting them. awareness that it’s an ideological battle.OK. they are thieves. It’s the university’s responsibilities. . you change your mind about the world. If people stop believing in order. Smart guys are nearly sort of extinct. .We have done away with it once and for all. And they admire this so-called art because they are told that they like it. You have a dozen men telling millions of fools what to like and what to think. but not because there is true art in it. And what do they show? Two parallel lines and a triangle? What’s the meaning behind it? .So who are they and why are they doing it? .But whose battle is this? It’s a hard nut for me.If they had no protection from somebody important.That’s disappointing. you believe in a lack of order. and they call it fashion.Their whereabouts are not so hard to find. They like it because they have been made to like it. Who is taking part in it and why? .Or so it seems .What shock? . But the purpose is different. My forehead is covered with sweat when I think how helpless we are. But I guess you are asking about those few who are fighting this battle.he said .Young artists find it appealing. You are accusing artists of causing a mess in people’s minds. . . Anyway. You would see that they only have such pictures here. not artists. He then pointed it at the picture on the wall. They have been brainwashed. Jet interrupted gently: . though. Fools obey. when you believe in a lack of order. So listen.The crowd of fools is easy to see. as if they were deaf. .. Now listen carefully.we could go sightseeing here and I could show you round in this restaurant.They tell crowds of people to dress up the way they want. I suspect that they do it all on purpose. . Brainwashing is the nightmare of our century. . their thinking will be in disorder.Why ..Jet was growing curious. But very often you tell them the truth and they don’t hear you. . .Exactly. . they would stand no chances of having their chaff promoted like this.See it? . Such crowds are easy to handle.In traditional art you could discover beauty. Big guys earn money.For example. you stop believing that the world was created by God.So I am listening . Now you don’t. And when you believe in a lack of order.This reminds me of quantum physics.But not all of them. my fellow. They are not capable of finding out the truth without a shock of some kind.Why? . but some others will never escape it.said Arky and reached out for the fork on the table. You know why? They want to teach you about chaos. Why do they do it? .. . Modern art wants you to avoid thoughts related to God? If that does take place.Jet said impatiently.Moreover. . But he didn’t mind it when the truth was being discussed. The wind slammed the door as they left.We have grown out of it. That unexpected chat about art was not irrelevant to Jet’s interests. it becomes harmful.Are you sure we are such heroes? .. ‘If he is right. After all.This I will not tell you. Jet was worn out after the day. He thought he was being punished by God for his intellectual laziness.What places? . Arky gave them a lift in his lorry.he thought. It was a historical record of Jet’s lifetime. We must look after ourselves permanently.Fancy another glass of beer? . passing a glass of beer to Arky leaning towards him . driven to agony by the discussion which he found so boring. This you will guess for yourself if you watch TV. it was a piece of beauty that he was trying to get back. they are easier to influence .so what is this all about? . It’s on me .I did not say that.So they are cheating the others on purpose? Who are they. Just watch carefully. .he would need to think it over. haven’t we? . what ‘those in charge’ were imposing on their people. He knew he must be able to tell good and evil apart.the ‘players’ do believe in the existence of the objective truth.If you drink too much of this liquid. or else we may suffer a loss. the Honshu jewel was real beauty. His peaceful and orderly vision of the world had just collided with that of Arky. . But let’s face it . His chin noticeably moved up and down as he did it. And nobody would attach irrelevant philosophy to it. .I’ve been to places. . ‘But how did they find their way to the very elite?’ That was a mystery for him. After they finished their beer.You are quite witty. Nobody would reject it as art. . . Oh yes. Those who promote disorder don’t want us to believe in the existence of the objective truth. a tough-looking waiter in a red uniform saw them off. 126 .Jet grinned . Wisdom was very important for Jet. Sean wished they would spare that chat for him. . He scratched his head when he realised that Arky had taught him like a teenage boy.The truth. He was always so proud of it. But it was all so knew for him . That country’s image was even more miserable in Jet’s eyes when he had realised.asked Sean.They don’t believe in the existence of the objective truth? .I already have a headache when I think about it. One of the most serious losses you could think of that of our health. And now he was finding out that certain obvious things were no longer obvious. then? . .he said. If crowds don’t believe in the objective truth. Jet felt offended because the waiter was chewing something while serving them. thanks to Arky’s explanation.they will follow something sooner or later. America had a debt to pay to his family.Remote ones.Where did you learn so many things? . then it’s only the tip of the iceberg’ .fortunately we are not keen on that rubbish. Such beauty does appeal to everybody.

Quite unlike they had expected: no mess. They were amazed by the enormous number of souvenirs of different shapes which were to be seen there. Apparently their host was fond of travelling and keen on exploring the world. Various objects from all over the globe could be found in the house. It was now obvious to them that it was not a narrow-minded person for whom they had mistaken him. The so-called ‘driver’ was probably also a sculptor, because they could notice pieces of sculpture and some home-made statues inside the house. ‘That’s a hard nut for me’ - Jet thought - ‘Hardly have I made friends with this fellow and I’m already discovering that it’s the most extraordinary man I’ve seen in America so far’. He was now awfully ashamed of his earlier attempt to disrespect him and make him the victim of his reckless methods of dealing with people. It was a warning for him: Never look down on other people, even though you could regard them as old-fashioned or unworthy of your attention. Everybody is unique and it’s never good to refuse to accept somebody just because he is unwilling to imitate your own lifestyle. Unlike it may seem, he can eventually turn out to be better than you in many respects, but your knowledge of his abilities may be too superficial to appreciate this. Everybody is a mystery but understanding this message calls for wisdom’ - Jet concluded. Jet kept wondering why his host had come up with the idea of inviting them to his place. He was neither their relative nor some old acquaintance - no relationship at all. They had just made friends with him. But he had already managed to tell them so many things: about separating the wheat from the chaff, telling apart mess and order, about artists running out of meaningful ideas and inventing meaningless messages instead, and other complex issues, such as those of whether the majority of people are making enough effort to deserve heaven after death or why the minds of innocent people are being washed by this or that particular present-day painter or sculptor who hung on to their unhealthy vision of the universe. There was a lot to think over. Arky had also assured Jet that we must tell apart good from evil. And he knew that it was the tip of the iceberg - they were likely to soon find out more about this guy. While he had been keeping them company in the clerk’s house, he turned out to be a skilful ‘bodyguard’, although he did not harm anybody. Jet had a pressing urge to get to know that fellow better. In the meantime, Sean had a pressing urge to locate the toilet, because his stomach couldn’t cope with his diet. Jet admired Arky for his style - it appealed to him. But that man was so much unlike himself - he didn’t show that he was proud of anything and he seemed so unwilling to pick a quarrel - even thought he knew he would win the fight. Or maybe he just didn’t pretend that he had a lot to show off. And, apparently, he had a lot to show off - he was not bruised when those twenty people attacked them. ‘You see such things once in a lifetime’ - he thought. Historical records of the Japanese ancient culture happened to mention some well-known unique 136 . you are clearly taking after your ancestors speaking as if you were a bodyguard. .‘even though some of them have rectangle-like scars on their foreheads’.the lawyer who is in charge of preventing unemployment here. When I need justice to be done. so that he won’t recover. I’m unwilling to give up. ‘Anyway. I wouldn’t like to end up in a coffin or with a bullet between my ribs. .Did you catch them red-handed? .But if I grab his arm and twist it over. Unfortunately. You have mixed up my message: I often swim against the stream but I don’t approve of violence. but Jet hardly believed this to be true by now. it’s not worth risking your life.Arky explained . starting the conversation .shouldn’t people like you and me be subject to similar rules? .Did they detain the criminals? .they were armed. I first switched off the light and slammed the door in order to frighten them. but the meaning of what you are saying is slightly irrelevant to my story . remember? .That’s hopelessly limiting .Did you give in? . . But what seemed even more odd was that he found his country’s hero in somebody who was not related to it in any way. but this only resulted in a horrible nightmare for them. But I did have some fun.They tried to impose this shameful solution on me.Jet asked. such ghosts do exist. if you are so fond of punishing. .No . It was a visitor from the townhall who wanted to get the same message across to me. . . we were still engaged in conversation.So justice didn’t catch him? . I said that order meant no mess. you can cut him with a razor if you want. I heard one of them trip over and then fall down on the floor. Violence is an obstacle to order. So? . I didn’t waste time. Such images had seemed so remote that he had rejected them as unrealistic.Let me guess: you got rid of him in a cruel way. They only succeeded in delaying this justice by a few days.Well. While they were up to their tricks. I got a phone call in which somebody threatened that they would blow up my house if I bothered to follow it up. I never put it off.Where there is violent behaviour. Anyway. I’ll be the winner and he’ll end up in plaster. they left a lot of fingerprints which the police later examined with their lens.

I just showed him round the house for some sightseeing and I said that we had few concrete issues to talk about.Arky answered .Sure. OK.because they confuse my household with a palace.Remember.apparently you didn’t get my message. If you charge at your opponent. one of them happened to be the nephew of the local councillor .personalities which seemed similar to that of Arky. He was now supposed to apologise to his country’s historical records because he had distrusted them.Claiming this calls for courage. that’s fine’. How can you bring about justice if you come up with nothing but forgiveness? Maybe we shouldn’t even detain burglars who steal sculptures from museums? If that councillor’s nephew will always look down on guys like you and we if we don’t succeed in distinguishing between somebody who is guilty and somebody who is a healthy member of our society.in my motherland punishment is always measured to match the ‘size’ of the fault. which says that if you judge other people you will yourself be judged.But I haven’t had an opportunity to answer your question. instead of testing the personality and the spirit. It’s extraordinary. And they were on this earth before yours. We can hardly decide who is guilty. I give them a warning.That’s a joke! If you are surrounded by people with odd personalities who only show off their power. find it out on time.

It’s like swimming against the stream in the present-day West. . I’m not much of a patriot. In fact. And his honesty was not superficial or artificial in any way. who have brainwashed millions because they have the media’.Whom. then? Whom do you want me to see off? . Browser.

Donletti said to Jet and Sean: .But you aren’t cut out for this job! You are so eager to underestimate this situation.Let’s try our luck now .Donletti corrected him. It must be called off. I myself sometimes heard Sean say to neighbours that their houses are uglier than his. a frightening thought took Jet’s breath away. And you may end up in a coffin even if you are innocent. Is that somebody letting off fireworks? Or perhaps somebody is trying to take revenge on you all for something? Yes. . Who cares? By the way. somebody is after you all. Now Itosu knew it had been a bad idea to talk about the kids blowing up ugly houses or letting off fireworks.You aren’t in high spirits. not my house . Let me ask out of curiosity..I think the signal is better.Another home-made bomb has also gone off in a household in the suburbs. Has anything serious taken place? . Yes.Or maybe someone was letting off fireworks? . made by the same person. . and Jet was embarrassed that a police officer should take such funny stories as actually intended to be true. Suddenly. You will contribute more to the whole case if you come with me to my office.this could be true. what.I’m very anxious to catch that thief .a policeman said to the officer. bringing his mobile phone . . named McDonald.said another policeman. sir? . . That’s ridiculous! . We need to make certain things clear. My wealth has diminished. .Donletti interrupted . he wanted the police to keep out of the case. .I’m not cut out for this kind of job.Sean answered back at once.Surprised as Jet was. You are always on the move.Aren’t you overestimating them? . it’s a terrorist .and don’t ask such ridiculous questions. beyond a shadow of a doubt.Donletti observed .Do you think this will result in the worsening of your situation? . Donletti said to him: .It’s very thoughtful of you to offer your contribution. .Of course it will .I cannot abandon the efforts to explain the reason why my brother is in trouble.perhaps it’s just some kids trying to blow up ugly houses? .. The other bomb which went off in the suburbs was.The other house that has been damaged by a bomb is allegedly unoccupied.How’s that.So the bombing is believed to have been carried out as an attempt to take revenge? . Just keep me company for a while. . . He is himself to blame! Donletti was astonished that somebody should say such rubbish.why should somebody blow up an empty house? This Donletti is a spot of bother for me . .Jet said.It’s not a thief.You must be joking . my name is Inspector Paulo Donletti. Call Furguson at once.. scratching his ribs with his one hand and his chin with the other .said Donletti. To start with. His jacket looked worn out and so did its owner. . This I can make out. We can’t even recall what we were doing when it happened. I assure you that. yes. guys.What? .I’m not usually fond of that. He will stand no chances of escaping. you would make less obvious logical mistakes.the officer said in high spirits . If I get access to him. But if something goes wrong. If you should have something interesting to contribute to the case. . dear sir . You are trying to prevent me from finding out something. if you are not guilty of anything. If you were really trying to sound clever. . there will be no way to correct it .There is a worm on your collar. .You are very inconsistent.I wish I could help you. But then.. the boys from the laboratory say it’s the same guy. These are the usual procedures.The two bombs were planted by the same person. trying to look annoyed and disappointed .Anyway. A sergeant approached him and said: . Itosu was facing a difficult decision during this chat: continue to pretend and not find out who is letting off bombs in his friends’ and family’s houses or tell Donletti the story and hope he would catch the culprit. A blue shirt was sticking out of Donletti’s jacket and he apologised to the ‘hosts’ as soon as he discovered this. Our boys have recorded a conversation between you. We are not even good witnesses because we don’t know what exactly is going on. sample analysis. You first suggested that the bombs must have been planted by some reckless kids and now you are claiming it’s organised crime. just give me a call. 166 .Jet answered back. . You are trying to hide something.Who: the same guy? . Take it easy. The jacket was fading at the elbows and there was a hole in his anklelength trousers. His words were barely audible from the distance when he uttered them. or at least made by the same inventor.he thought. and someone calling from the unoccupied house.It’s indecent to suggest that I could have something to do with the illegal activities .ordinary people have no reasons to be unwilling to help. You don’t have to come with me today. . . it would be good to get in touch with the other fellow. . the case will be solved. You had better change your mind before I run out of patience with this case. He seemed to be a hard-working person and always on the move. I have changed my mind. But first we need to collect as much information as possible: descriptions.you aren’t making good use of your intellectual abilities.A worm. I’ll be available in my office most of the time. I’ll look forward to receiving your help . and the like. he is so frightened that he will do something wrong.Common sense would advise us to chase the bandits who tried to blow us up rather than detain innocent citizens and search their houses from top to bottom . you have nothing to fear and nothing to hide. Everything may depend on whether you are trying to cheat me or whether you are willing to help. if you should eventually decide to try to be helpful.Having examined the samples of rubble. I suspect.Ah? . But you have so many full-time hard-working employees that you don’t need other people. we will catch him. If it’s not a ghost we are after. Mr Itosu.Jet said trying to look angry and headed for the window so as to see what was going on outside. That’s just what we need.So far we have found out that there is one culprit. However. 1. but if you will wait a moment I’ll try to _ _ _ you _ h _ _ _ g _. . Shame on you! 167 . 19. 6.

A few dozen bored policemen were pretending to be busy searching the Japanese Embassy for any traces of the culprits’ presence.and. having said this. which was helpful. they would have to resort to asking for help. to take over. you get a distorted image of the tool. all in all. to burst into tears. And this was indispensable because. Sean invented solutions which did appeal to him. indispensable. to turn one’s back on sb. a cop. for the sake of. a narrow escape. Sean was not going to keep out of it. I must leave . sufficient. Having your house blown up is not something that you usually fancy. In order to live up to Jet’s expectations. to tell sb. security measures. What really did take his breath away was that the Embassy had also been targeted. he was going to give them a hand in searching for their treasure. Jet was sitting and thinking. subordinate. he got down to work immediately and. his assistance was not completely worthless. but. inner. A bullet whose surface is studied by means of the 179 . walks of life. though. to postpone. But all that was there in Itosu brothers’ thoughts. traces. a circus. When there was a task of this kind. What they knew they must do first was abandon any attempts to see to some insignificant issues because they were certainly in for enough trouble. Three bombs at a time. Your conclusions become irrelevant and you may even end up suspecting the wrong people. Firstly. extensive. When Jet ran out of useful ideas. that is gave advice. (in)significant. The heaps of rubble clearly indicated they had underestimated their enemy. off. whoever it was. operating methods become out of date when no new challenge is involved. Making appointments with officials was a good example. by accident. but he was more of a mischief than true help. Even Sean now realised what the ambush meant: someone was apparently after them. Of course. to bother (upset). either. But this was not Donletti’s attitude: Exhausted as he was. numerous.Jet promised himself . to my mind. to request. either. to bear sth. variety is essential for skills training. He would take revenge on them for entering his brother’s premises for such purposes. but he did begin to appreciate the danger. On the contrary. having had a narrow escape. an inch. efficiency. If you use one and the same tool over extensive periods of time. though. an oak. traditional Holmes-like lens can be misleading. Shop owners from that area were not keen on being imposed things on.. I’m not even sure whether we will get away with all this. Donletti and his fellow cops trying to find traces of fingerprints. It’s ridiculous.the man uttered the last word mispronouncing it.Good news. you have to be obedient or else you may start a quarrel with the police. Many of them thought the security measures were exaggerated. A lot of folks like we are at large.Sure. I’ve been so generous to you and what do I get in return for this? Where is your involvement? And your incentive? Your faith in success? It is people like you who are to blame for our numerous failures. And that’s something few shop keepers wish.Those Japs are still alive? Is that what bothers you? .good. After a moment. What scares you so much? The cops who have turned up? We are not the first to plant bombs. but very oldfashioned. as planned. but the owner did not have the permission to work on that day.look.Donletti would instruct his subordinates. Another obstacle has been removed: the police are being moved to Street 38 because our boys have just held up a bank there. This is indecent. an official who had come from the White House and comforted everybody on behalf of the President. and a white car which had pulled up across the park. being told off for entering that area.I didn’t mean to offend you.That was a smart plan. because this is happening by accident. guys! Rob’s team have held up the bank at last. The driver had a mobile phone and he seemed to be making good use of it. .No. but when public safety is at stake. then? . Then we shall step in and get Sataro. The driver suddenly said: . who was sitting on the back seat. You make the most of my wealth but you show no devotion to the family. Another man.. as we planned. who will challenge such superior values? This would be thoughtless and would not make sense even to a selfish shop-keeper. Can you put me through to Big Tom. What bothers me is that you are unwilling to set a good example to others. But it was visible from the shop. Big Tom was talking on the phone with the man from the back seat of the white Ford. but when there’s an order. pieces of concrete scattered all over the pavement. to Donletti’s mind. . reached out for the city’s map and said to a third man. There was a shop for sculptors across the street. You know what bothers me? .the third man said . What should a present-day cop do then? ‘See where the bullet landed in the first place. Take a microscope.I’m not cut out for this job. who was sitting next to him: . complaining to the police about not being protected sufficiently. The man said to Big Tom: . He was sitting in his (closed on that day) shop and ‘admiring’ the whole view. so these cops here will move to that place. 180 . . I’m just growing out of living in such stress. probably because the driver wanted to prevent himself from being seen. We are always on the move. buddy: you get such a chance once in a lifetime. a mother with two small twin boys whom it was hard to tell apart. Embassy employees with bruises on their heads. It was a white Ford with the word ‘FANCY’ on its number plates. I think Big Tom should have rejected you in the first place. . then? . that’s something no microscope will show’ .Maybe you are fed up with living .That’s not the point! How can we get on with guys like you? Do you know how many details needed seeing to before we could lay our hands on the Japanese jewel? .Everything is coming off smoothly. not too busy because the club was the only entertainment centre within a mile. but it’s obvious..You attach too much importance to physical location. I wouldn’t like the jewel to find its way to Japan again. when we lay our hands on Sataro.There . the so-called ‘boss’ has poor imagination. Behind the oak there was a man and he was listening to their conversation. boss. You must try your luck again.that’s what good craft is all about. . It is security that counts. He felt an inner urge to hurry up to Big Tom’s place and get the jewel back.So where are the guys we are chasing? . It was Jet Itosu. We can’t risk letting somebody know about it by accident. But he needed Sean’s help. . But he did not waste time. The white Ford was parked some 50 inches from a two-feet-thick oak tree. and cut down on smoking. fool! You are not supposed to mention the name of the place! Never! This is an instance of behaviour which deserves punishment. I would rather we put it in some remote place. But Sean had fallen asleep and had forgotten for a while that they were ‘at war’ with someone. but first make sure everything has been arranged properly.‘these are the Westernised walks of life’. . He said to the men in his thoughts: ‘You had better lose weight.Shut up.Big Tom said angrily.Maybe we should try out their weapons before we start telling them off? . but then said confidently: . Just think it over.Jet said. Timmy will take over.Let me just mention that it is the third time you have said it today. ‘They have targeted our houses and now they will have theirs targeted’ . . . he had more than one vehicle). . Jet said: . It was situated between two parallel roads. It’s dishonour. Sean and Arky arrived in the latter’s smaller lorry (as it turned out. wealth does affect your strength and efficiency. he will tell us how he learnt all those things about the diamond. pointing with his finger at the club. . If you happen to be too narrow-minded for this. . He would be there in half an hour. .Yeah. There’s just too much at stake. Flexibility . You know guys. I’m not even commenting on it. Such knowledge was indispensable.To my mind. buddies . thanks to that Japanese souvenir we shall all be pretty well-off. .Is Sataro safe? 181 . We had better make sure that nobody steals the treasure from Big Tom again. You look like elephants suffering from fever’. the driver was doing something with the screwdriver.What’s this rubbish? Are you here to teach me? Anyway. fellows. . I’m not going to put up with another failure. Jet.We need to be flexible. He blushed with shame when he woke up. it seems. The house was easy to find because Sean knew where Jeremy’s Club was. boss.Why didn’t you succeed in killing him? .Arky said but in the meantime I shall request that Sean should take over the driving. his jaws moving because he was chewing something. Our strength is in our wealth. I shall tell him off for putting our treasure in such an ugly place. They always occur. He then said: . And there is some lorry driver taking part in the business.the man from the back seat said.Itosu thought .We must always allow for such things.And those Japs? They are also still alive. True.But Jeremy’s Club is not a good place to keep the diamond there. In the meantime. not distance.I won’t let you down. because the latter was better familiar with the city’s layout. By one inch.

Jane knew the firm’s background very well. When he said ‘Will you be drinking coffee when we have taken a rest?’. The problem was that her hard-working personality sometimes got out of hand and so did Sean’s eagerness to have a rest. a handkerchief. to take to. so she was the one entrusted with the work. We mustn’t delay our holiday because of this’. in due course. they were not so reckless as to avoid communication. ‘Why not put it off until Monday morning instead of doing it now?’ .

Due to her devotion to the commercial well-being of her company. they need to apply more sophisticated ways of acting. overtime. though.

If one of them offended the other by accident. What was ridiculous was that she worked part-time and she was doing the work of two employees. She said it to herself as a sort of sense of duty to take a rest.Sean often said to her . She was able to get permission to go back home in return for the promise that she would go through a pile of some papers first thing on Monday morning. exterior. they were quick to apologise.Jane thought . but if they want to achieve efficiency in the long run. treatment. Their car was temporarily out of order and Jane wasn’t keen on going on foot through the crowded streets. said he had heard the injured driver say that foreign tourists were a nuisance for his country and that his organisation could not put up with them. Although security measures are being taken in the city. there has been a significant decrease in the efficiency of oil production. Jane had been glad and. Another passenger was heard to say he was grateful to God for having survived. It was rush hour and the traffic produced noise. but not very rich. a frank is one-fifth of a dollar. Twenty six injured tourists were immediately taken to hospital for medical examination and some have stayed on for treatment. That miserable person had learnt the lesson and started respecting her even more.she thought to herself . If he is found guilty. A well-known artist had once tried to pick her up. in the meantime.

He would not ask her to help him until she woke up. however. said the police spokesman. The explosion has been blamed on the ETA organisation.how urgently Sean needed Jane’s help with something. which has decreased considerably as a result of staff shortages in the profession. so she just went on working. The news was just being read out: ‘The Afghan guerrillas have captured a major city in the North of the country and have announced that they are intending to invade the neighbouring areas.she often said. so it takes one-eighth of a pound to buy a frank’. but nobody has claimed responsibility so far. It is easier to process such information by day. The noise from the street got mixed up with that from the TV-set. ‘I mustn’t confuse the figures’ . She was sitting at her desk. On the contrary. The police say the lorry driver could have done it on purpose in order to prevent foreigners from visiting the country. They were armed with machine guns but did not harm anybody. injuring seven people and causing material damage. the man had picked up a single girl and married her. Several groups of voluntary United Nations workers have already headed for safety in the neighbouring countries. And it’s not that she hadn’t liked him. Also in Mexico City there has been a serious head-on collision in which a lorry and coach were involved. nobody would set out to pick her up. he would not disturb her when she was sleeping. Her innocent mind hadn’t at first suspected what he was getting up to. even though he knew she was married. outside help will be indispensable to catch him. It was her wisdom that had prevented her from doing something unreasonable: She had paid the due respect to that fellow but gently (having first told him off) rejected him on the grounds that she was married. where money and treasure worth $100000 was stolen by unidentified criminals. He had been pretty handsome and she could have taken to him. and it was not until two months later that she realised what was going on. She wished the wealth she was calculating belonged to her and her husband. They were well-off. she could certainly set a good example for others to follow. What they earned was sufficient to make a decent good living. Today. According to experts. At least she wouldn’t need to sit up late at night. She had told him off for indecent behaviour and said that all his efforts had been in vain. A bank has been held up in Mexico City. The criminal guilty of committing numerous crimes is still at large and Chicago police say they are not familiar with his whereabouts and are reluctant to comment on it.‘a dollar is two-thirds of a pound. ‘Too big doses of information given at the same time may prevent your brain from processing them’ . calculating some fractions and translating dollars into Japanese yens and other currencies. The victims of the crash described the accident as a nightmare and one of them. And Jane would never betray her husband. A bomb has gone off in North-East Spain. after recovering. he will be punished by the court. 208 . the widespread belief that oil companies have too many employees and are trying to get rid of some seems to be groundless. too much is at stake to neglect it. She looked out of the window for a moment. as he put it. In the light of this. Opposite them there was a fence with a gate and some people had gathered there because somebody was offering to draw their portraits. with the elbow resting lazily on the desk. He said that the best cure against AIDS was to be loyal to your husband or wife and to be obedient to God and nature rather than to apply this or that medical invention.

Steven Beardsmore. because she couldn’t get the message across to them that they were confusing madness and chaos with freedom. but such cases are rare.’ The last piece of news made Jane consider the issue: ‘That’s true. The people had been attracted by the man’s behaviour. Humanity has attracted this disease by their immoral and unnatural activities and now even some innocent people suffer.Jane thought to herself . An elderly man leaned down to pick up his wallet which he had dropped on the pavement and his white shirt was sticking out of his trousers. Steven also said that nature was punishing people for immoral behaviour and that he wished he had understood it earlier. She was helpless in a way. Some friends of Jane’s thought her attitude was old-fashioned. but none of them mention the most obvious cure – faithfulness to your husband or wife. and too little was being said about educating young people about true love and responsibility. we don’t bother to think about eternal life. Beardsmore said that too much attention was being paid to technological solutions in fighting against the disease. Jane had once written in her diary that nobody could build lasting peace in this world if they only imitated the empty lives of soap opera’s heroes. In this world we tend to neglect the most important things.she said to herself and continued the calculations. What can be said. the international TV channels and liberal or left-wing politicians talk so much about teaching people to use this or that method to avoid AIDS. under the circumstances they will oppose attempts to sack employees on the grounds that they lack qualifications.‘But life should not be only about rushing. is that qualified staff will in due course take over from those who are reluctant to obtain further education in the field. 209 . ‘Take it easy’ . Of course. the other seemed to be his superior because he was trying to impress the passers-by with his straight figure.

Trade union representatives have announced that. the famous singer who has contracted AIDS.’ An extensive coverage of the most essential news items then followed. all of them – the United Nations. though. there are some cases where the disease is contracted without the victim’s fault.Those who work for oil companies are underqualified and the working conditions which the companies offer are too unattractive for qualified people to accept . We are making the world into a circus’. but it was only because their world had already been made into a circus and in their hurry they had lost true sense of life. Indeed. but most emphasis was put on the battle in Afghanistan and the terrorist attacks. One of them looked like a ghost because he was wearing a black uniform and white gloves. one could say.

They just didn’t know what they were in for. That’s typical of people who do not hesitate to commit a crime. The sense of having carried out his duty was premature.

I suppose? 223 .Show me the piece of paper . .It’s nice you have come..We must get in touch with Sataro. We often face failure because our thinking goes wrong. Jane is in danger. . but revenge is God’s business.Present-day technology makes it possible to match handwriting with its owner in a computer database. .How can we obtain such information? . What is good comes from God. Providence will prevent Jane from being hurt. such facilities can contribute to our success. . .Whom do you want to capture and eliminate? . showing him the piece of paper.

Those who have kidnapped Jane need to be taught to distinguish between good and evil. fellow.How do we find Jane? .But can we expose Sataro to additional danger? Will he agree to bend the rules? .Wrong. . I take it.The thieves will nevertheless stand trial.

Hardly had I learnt something new when I found out it was not the case. gentlemen. finding Jane without delay is good. but let us be preoccupied with our due concern. By getting the ‘Matcher’.Jet said.If our dreams of a just world are to come true. only then can we say that they have rejected what is good.As a matter of fact. Let us get him to break into the FBI network and copy the programme. Jet. it is more important to be able to distinguish between good and evil than to punish those who cannot do it. But how do we get access? . . On the grounds of the above I can tell you with absolute certainty that we must immediately find Jane.They undoubtedly will do so. . Their information should be pretty accurate and up-to-date. Let us provide him with an opportunity to show that what he boasted about was true. . . You remember how much emphasis he put on his readiness to help. appearing from behind the open front door. If you insist on taking revenge and punishing.Arky cut in. you are confusing good and evil. but what I say is true.We can make good use of the FBI ‘Matcher’ programme. what is evil comes from beyond.What do we do next? .If you want to build good world order. but what I know is that we can find out the identity of the culprit.You sometimes truly astonish me. we need to capture and eliminate those who threaten it. .. if you want to build a world based on good values.I can’t deny that. In this case. we need to distinguish between good and evil. At least he will be made to apologise for what he has done’.So it’s Yabu. If it weren’t for you.

Sean was looking forward to finding out the identity of the person who had kidnapped his wife. that his whole business functions in too big a mess to enable a successful planning and carrying out of a kidnapping. Big Tom had something to do with it and I’m not going to let him get away with it. He.You mean the warehouse keeper with the thick wrists? . He pretends to be tough and proud.Let me ask out of curiosity: Who could have done it? .What on earth. They scanned the piece of paper with the handwritten words on it and engaged the ‘match’ operation in the ‘Matcher’ programme.nobody knew... Let us have a chat with him. He’s got receptionists and waiters that watch everything and report to him whenever something suspicious takes place. But let us hope it does not turn out to be the case.

He would search his own flat from top to bottom looking for spying equipment because he was afraid that someone was keeping an eye on him constantly. isn’t he?

Should I be wrong. . but he is little more than a rude person with shallow mentality. He said: . Or with John Venson. 224 . He thought: ‘For sure.He’s been working overtime pretty much of late.That’s ridiculous. then. He was frightened. Big Tom is related to all the crimes which have been committed.. . Arky said instead: . A little bit sensitive about the others’ loyalty. We didn’t take to each other from the very beginning.We are very grateful for your help. . The name of the culprit was Soto Yabu. He would keep the Ambassador thinking he was back at home. They certainly had exterior help in obtaining them.Let us try to get through to Sataro before he changes his mind about being helpful.. He is in charge of the whole car business.Do you think the Ambassador is behind all this? . . His men tend to be savage and they are certainly not teenage guess-what-I-think players.Arky interrupted . But let me point out.. This took Sean’s breath away for a while.That’s the Embassy clerk who waited downstairs in the hotel when we first met you? Jet asked Sataro. It seems that nobody is immune to the danger of corruption. Sean didn’t finish. What matters now is Jane’s safety. . How the FBI had obtained them . The words ‘match positive’ appeared on the screen. But now this is irrelevant. his business partner.allegedly he is developing a smuggling network with the headquarters in the suburbs. It is the Ambassador’s sort of bodyguard. Jet.

Now let us get down to our work.Do not bother yourself over this. No harm will be done to you. Yabu was engaged in a conversation with Jane. a criminal was at large and they had to capture him in such a way which would make it impossible for him to hurt Jane.This judgement is a premature one. Jet. . . I sort of know how to act. American women.Could you be more specific? . don’t you? That’s why you are here. The Itosu brothers and their companions got into their car and drove off.

Donletti’s boss. a piece of advice from a tourist can also be helpful.We’ll come to that later . He asked Donletti: ..culprits face to face. We need to learn quickly. Apparently.have you caught those fellows who planted those bombs? . Sean and Sataro looked at each other in surprise. was looking forward to Sataro’s departure because he was to take over his post. When I run out of ideas myself.Something is wrong in all this .Who was it? . officer .Don’t ask me what I am getting at. Jet. Why worry about the fate of some woman? Yabu was doing favours for the Ambassador in return for the promise that he would get promoted.Jet thought to himself. That’s amazing.It is. rumours have it that you are heading for home first thing tomorrow .We have.That’s the cop. just for fun. A real nuisance .It is. isn’t it? I’m growing impatient with all this. the diplomat had failed to get the message across to Yabu. . Arky was again being helpful. He was very anxious for this to happen. Mr Itosu? . .Or what? . By the way.. Our wealth depends on our professional attitude towards our duties.he said.Every three years or so we hear news of diplomats involved in smuggling or money laundering. the house has not been occupied for twenty five years.I don’t understand.According to the files.He was there.How did you get to that? .It is a voice of a person who has always been living in this town. . ..

They were also accompanied by a man whom we don’t know anything about . These two threads meet sometimes. however I want you to know that it’s interesting.I told Sergeant Brovsky to follow them. I have an inner voice telling me that they have something to do with it. . . The voice has been identified dialectally as that of a person from Chicago. .Maybe Itosu’s brother? . .So far I haven’t.Yes. Did you hear the legend of the stolen jewel which was allegedly brought here after the war? .But you recorded a telephone conversation between Sean Itosu and someone calling from that house? .Eventually we will.vocabulary a) Insert the missing words 238 . .But we have all the voices indexed in our database! . .Donletti said.What.Do you think we shall catch those guilty of planting the bomb in Sean Itosu’s house and the Embassy? . then? . . too.What about the other speaker? The one who was calling from the other house? . REVISIONS Activity one . The conversation itself told us he is Itosu’s new acquaintance. .Not telling you.What did the dialectal analysis reveal? .Neither do I. He didn’t say anything.Yes. I mean the legend and his whereabouts. According to our computer.What about voice matching? .No match was found for this. What about it? .What about the other house which was blown up on that day? Have they identified the owner? . We’ve been losing track of him and getting back on his trail. That’s also how we learnt about some other things. they wouldn’t hire one. You’ll tell me off for bending the rules. a person with this voice doesn’t exist.The computer has successfully matched Itosu’s voice as his own. . but there was another man there. Listen. . . Not their bodyguard. Not a word. but no match exists for it.

He was apparently immune to such human weaknesses as fear. Donletti refrained from using force when other solutions were available. was more practical: he would not hesitate to resort to committing an offence if releasing Sean’s wife from captivity was at stake. There was a widespread conviction that it was a good idea to avoid fighting with him because nobody fancied being beaten in front of dozens of passers-by. smugglers or drugs traffickers. they knew about Sean’s problem) and what was the identity of the unknown person who was keeping the Itosu brothers company. neither thoughtless nor crazy.PART TWENTY TWO Furguson had to acknowledge that Donletti’s description of the situation was as accurate as it could possibly be. Big Tom’s men would in vain try to discourage the police from following up the case because. He had once solved a case of a missing girl who had been kidnapped by a cult headed by a man called Masvadi. they were obedient and didn’t protest. you would not be allowed to get away with it. his reputation was burdened with accusations of thoughtlessness or even craziness. although he did encourage his men to take care of themselves. He was a good cop who sought to maintain law and order on the streets. Whenever he took part in an operation of detaining some criminals. The kind of guy you encounter anywhere: on a railway station platform. though. Once you tried. And Furguson was anxious to find out whether all those events that had been triggered off by Itosu really had anything to do with the legendary jewel from Japan. whenever they got a threatening message across to Donletti. He had all the relevant information because he knew how to collect it: he had made friends with the right people and consequently knew which pieces of information were out of date and which were capable of contributing to his scrutiny of a given matter. What is also interesting. and all this to the effect that you couldn’t fool him. What bothered him was that the man had failed to have his voice recognised by the computer which. All this was bad news for Itosu’s enemies. Donletti’s commitment to a case caused his behaviour to get out of hand at times and. Donletti. He had at first been given one afternoon to find the girl. but he had ended up in North Africa. he seemed to be deaf. not to mention reaching out for a gun. had identified him as an inhabitant of their town. But there were two details which he could not boast about: there was no way he could account for the explosion in the unoccupied house and there was no identity he could associate with the man who was accompanying the Itosu brothers and Sataro. He felt as if he was 245 . Judging by appearances. In order not to draw premature conclusions. and he didn’t really go in for boxing all that much. what they needed was up-to-date information. in a shop or in a church. But he was. because Donletti was now preoccupied with finding out what it was that the Japanese brothers were getting up to. they would have known that in due course he would not be prevented from finding the answer. He seemed to be at ease as if nothing serious were going on and even his closest subordinate employees were at a loss as to whether he knew what they were in for. He was so flexible a man that he adjusted his solutions to the circumstances. And Furguson insisted on acting professionally: Neither bend the rules nor rely on rumours. Of course. but the assumption that you could play cat and mouse with him was very unlikely to be correct. as a matter of fact. but at the same time both of them needed to focus on two new aspects which had emerged: where was the kidnapped woman being kept (of course. Criminals knew that. in turn. it was an ordinary citizen of the state or one of the hundreds of pedestrians who were walking on the pavement. he was able to predict what the situation would be like in a few days’ time. If they had known him. as a result of this. But let me point out that they wouldn’t be doing such lucrative business if there was need for such entertainment. This distorted picture makes them want such dreams to come true and that’s how the first dose of drugs gets into their veins. that after a sixteen-hour toil in a factory you are just too exhausted to think about the most essential matters and you just neglect them. But he was not going to let go of the mystery. They are rich enough. . .if it were not for poverty and social injustice. however. The only reason why you follow it is that others have gone the same way. they are exposed to films and movies in which there is a lot of talk about love but love itself is not there. he took it as a personal challenge and. if you fail to gain equal financial status.he said the last sentence like a sort of a holy man. .But aren’t we contradicting ourselves? We first said that poverty was the source of all the trouble and now we say that it occurs when people are fed up with their boring lives because they have nothing to do? That’s because they don’t need to work. The latter again said: .But I still have some doubts and you need to convince me if you want me to go along with your point of view. But let us face it.Jet cut in.So. because they have enough money. . in order to live up to his superior’s expectations. He put so much emphasis on human freedom. In turn. you make society your master and you become their slave. You make your neighbour your guide in this journey and thus it is not you who decides where to go. who are sometimes addicted to drugs. You also need to take this into account . . You are embarrassed or even annoyed if you fall behind. If you want to get on well with your neighbours and they happen to be well-off. This picture reflects the condition of our society: we are refugees in our own motherland. The three men were quite impressed by the elderly gentleman’s message. . Their wealth prevents them from achieving a state of selffulfilment. rob passers-by or even distribute drugs. no reason for pride. On their way to Yabu’s house. but what I can make out so far is that you are not in charge of your own life. they are up to mischief. on the grounds of this we can say that we should be grateful to Providence for failing to become well-off. people would not hold up banks.But mind you that there are also the rich. he would explain it once and for all. you know. On the contrary. When they are bored. People just want to try out something which they haven’t been familiar with so far because they are bored. You make take it as a matter of certainty that in due time they will not escape their trial. now that you mention it . An unpleasant experience which you will do your best to escape. You just want to make a decent living.being played cat and mouse with. you just sort of want to keep up with them in this respect. You follow a way that you know very little about.Arky replied to Jet.It is often the case. That was something that baffled him. But he did not talk in favour of the kind of freedom which is being 246 .Arky said . Is that necessarily bad? . the Itosu brothers and their companions were engaged in an exciting conversation about poverty.I tell you . If you give in to social pressure like this.I regret to say this. On the other hand. All of them will eventually receive proper punishment . We often work overtime because we want to improve our well-being. misused wealth may lead men to a way which does not necessarily take them to eternal life. You are fast asleep and you can’t hear the inner voice telling you that life is not only about making money.This desire for some extra adventure is brought about by the fact that people are often deprived of one thing: love. buddies. . In such situations people have lost track of the right way because they are not in charge of following it. It is a real nuisance. Where did you get the rectangular scar on the left side of your forehead? . When the other guy was just about to fire his gun.he said to him and took the gun away from him as he caught the parcel. in other words. something we just made up in our minds. Making it up would do. A slave of your desires. Perhaps somebody would try to accuse them of theft or 247 . This is false freedom which makes you a slave. shouting ‘Max! Max!’ after his colleague and yet another guerrilla-like fellow appeared from behind the stairs. A white Ford with the word FANCY could be seen there. Sean was having a nap. Let us proceed. You came here because it exists objectively. Arky grabbed a parcel which lay on a table and. not make a new one. Were it to be something not objective. it’s not fully comprehensible for me. your ambitions. In the long run. On hearing this. He gave a sigh of relief when he found out that they were successful in locating the house. . shouted to the first man: ‘catch!’. Arky first located the power-box and removed the fuse so as to cut off the electricity. Sean stuck his tongue out at Jet and joined the two without permission. True wisdom.so you just stay here until we come back. One more thing took his breath away: he saw Jane’s handkerchief on the stairs.I can barely take this all in. not confused with misguided ideas of relativism which many people so obstinately defend. This caused the cameras to stop working.promoted in the media. The man made a face as if he were chewing something sour and dropped his gun. If you made an artificial Honshu Jewel. but I could compare it to the treasure which you have regained. your addictions. Sean was trying to keep quiet but he inadvertently kicked a bucket which he hadn’t noticed. but my intuition tells me that you are not wrong .Jet said to Sataro and Sean . he woke up. The premises were well-maintained and the house seemed to have recently been redecorated. The development of events now moved at a pretty fast pace. The ‘visitors’ were careful not to leave fingerprints anywhere in the household in case the police wanted to hunt for them later on. grinning. Jet said: . I know you could be reluctant to admit this.Jet admitted. It needs to be discovered. ‘Don’t you have the habit of welcoming guests more decently?’ . Arky threw a screwdriver and it hit the man in a place this book won’t tell you which.Ha! ha! ha! Very funny. at least in the matters which we are talking about. Subjective truth does not exist. They had passed a small cross-roads and a drugstore.Finding their whereabouts was not all that difficult. In the meantime. He then asked: . They kicked the door open and were met by an armed man. but it did not disturb the whole view too much. it wouldn’t be the same. it won’t work. His forehead was glistening with drops of sweat. So did Sataro. There was a taxi rank across the street. grinning. When their car pulled up beside Yabu’s premises. The same concerns the truth. throwing it to him.That’s gonna be a nightmare . There was a small construction site to the right. This is the purpose of your mission.All this overshadows the most important goal in our life: wisdom. . like a sack of potatoes. You must find the true one. making a lot of noise. But it won’t do because we are incapable of making up truth which is equally good as the objective truth. . Another savage-looking gunman with red cheeks and a long chin appeared from a door. and the house itself was surrounded by a huge yard. there would be no reason to look for it. . the truth. True wisdom is. not invented. And God is the only source of the truth. but Jet pulled strongly the carpet on which the gunman was standing and thus caused him to fall down with a thud.he said.I was hurt in a battle with China three hundred years ago . taking advantage of his resemblance to me. and that was something they could not afford due to the political circumstances. taking up my post in the Embassy.she said . Jet Itosu grabbed another man’s shoulder: . Soto Yabu being the essential link. what is he getting at? .vocabulary. The latter immediately fell asleep and Arky said ‘You will undergo proper treatment in the hospital if you fail to wake up within two hours.Sataro cried out .. Another man appeared from behind the stairs with a gun ready to fire.He has set out to be a senator..Mr Ambassador! . . So they made their way into the next room.I’ll be very brief. . . but then Arky said ‘you should grow out of playing with toys. 1.The name doesn’t sound Japanese. He came to Japan following Jet Itosu and.I guess he is seeing to it that the people take to him. more than one answer may be correct. They are looking forward to having influential people in the Government.Let us stop it at once. They need the jewel for their electoral campaign of one of their elderly leaders. a) Choose the answers which are correct.But it doesn’t make sense. We have the jewel with us. . but make sure you keep out of dirty business throughout the rest of your life’. Let us take him by surprise. is there? . .What exactly is he trying to achieve? .It’s my twin brother.So you should be! . . and moved his hand when he was standing a dozen feet away from the man.there is somebody in there.What’s he up to now? .What are you doing here.I guess he doesn’t know about your achievements yet. . This time. They are keeping him locked up. buddy’.Don’t exaggerate.What do you mean? .

As a matter of fact. which many old-fashioned individuals still hang on to so fervently. We shouldn’t be ashamed of the fact that we can afford to buy something that our next-door neighbour can’t just because he hasn’t been as hardworking as we. I don’t mean to say that there should be no hospitals available for those who need treatment. It’s not a sin to be rich if you make good use of your mind. And it has a lot to do with the material well-being of our nation. then. If our society is to be successful. Furguson often pointed out that. others are fast asleep. It’s high time we took care of the condition of our economy. John Venson happened to be speaking. told Donletti to take it easy. Both of them were a bit old-fashioned. in case if failure. It’s not that they lack the abilities to work. no matter how advanced technology it took advantage of. The problem is that for them it just doesn’t pay to work. unwilling to make any effort. You may accuse some of the rich of being selfish. They believed that common-sense and wisdom could contribute to their coming up with solutions more than modern methodology. namely . you will fail to establish lasting stability in our modern economy if you give power to those who are reluctant to work.everybody has an equal part of their poverty? But I tell you. It is a very widespread phenomenon: people whisper to each other that it’s no use working if the Government pays you for doing nothing. we need to do away with restricting our freedom in other spheres of life. But how can we ever succeed in attempting to remedy our difficult situation if we don’t give support to those who are the engine of our economy? Were it not for their contribution to our labour market. But freedom in an economy is not enough. no scrutiny would be successful. They claim to be putting emphasis on social justice. while Furguson emphasised the fact that they were subject to the same rules and principles. The former. But Donletti hardly ever gave him reasons to comfort him. We should depart from the idea of the objective truth. although he knew he was the latter’s superior. The point is that too many beds in our hospitals are being 254 . Donletti did his best to avoid letting his boss down. ladies and gentlemen. because I would offend them. We have no choice but to support this way of the state’s functioning. What I mean is that. He avoided being rude and. The truth is what we democratically agree. without wisdom. many more people would be unemployed. The Japanese Mafia’s man who was standing for parliament was having his say: ‘The well-being of this nation is inevitably associated a with true liberal market. Their superior-subordinate relationship only made their work more efficient. while some individuals are very hard-working and try to achieve something persistently in their lives. They were now sitting in Furguson’s office and watching the electoral campaign on TV. for he usually carried out his tasks perfectly. On the contrary. Maybe they believe in the kind of social justice which prevails in Africa. such fanciful solutions prevent creative minds from implementing their practical solutions and thus ordinary citizens also suffer because they are made to live in economic chaos. over 90% of the unemployed are perfectly skilled for various jobs. We are spending so much money on hospitals that many others can’t afford to send their children to school. I wouldn’t like to say that I look down on those who haven’t been lucky enough to come into any fortune in their lives.PART TWENTY THREE Furguson and Donletti constituted an interesting duet. did not look down on him just because he was his subordinate employee. Those who defend the idea which I oppose are probably unaware of the enormous costs which our social security system is engulfing. My political opponents say that I hang on to ideas which belong to the past century. Let us think it over. . This civilisation has already proved to be based on solid foundations. are of the opinion that there are other. A thoughtless kid will watch bad movies and then he will imitate the heroes. providing that we all reject the notion of the objective truth. where a lot of those who came to meet him were poor and not very young. The same concerns us. ‘the savage jungle-like competition in the economy’ and that we should take care of the poor. Latin civilisation and Christianity in particular.He is a very smart person .The one thanks to which our planet has developed into a modern world.occupied by people who can never be cured because they are old and very. as he called it. either. They then took it for granted that he was a wise man. . Over 48% of you. so they probably believed in the second part. However. You treat their message as true and reliable. that is .How do you get that smart? .However. If we obey our ‘daddy’. I also heard him speak on another occasion and he was saying different things then. in turn. If you care for your proper intellectual development which will allow you to be immune to manipulation. He knows that his daddy won’t poison his mind with anything bad. This notion is preventing our economy from making our work efficient. you can avoid being manipulated like this if you are smart enough. on election day. . you believe in what they say.There are bad ideologies and good ones. His daddy will tell him what movies to watch. Consequently.Furguson cut in. 255 . but they are impossible to avoid in a 2000-year period of time.He has probably undergone extensive training in campaigning. Sooner or later he will get involved in violent behaviour and will eventually end up committing crime. more economical solutions. . Let us persuade another 3% and the truth will be on our side. we will be immune to manipulation. vote for their representatives.But not the elderly . He also said that we should not forget about our tradition. A wise kid listens to his daddy.obtain information from the right sources. then? Every newspaper is based on some ideology and there is no objective one. Let’s compare ourselves to small kids.And what is the bad one? . People like him are very skilful in manipulating crowds. . .A brilliant mind will not expose itself to rubbish. you voice opinions in favour of their approach to life and. you will use the right sources of information. you think they are wiser and treat them as if they were your teachers. too. We are the ones who are able to work and build a better future.What are the right sources. it is true that most people who watch this channel are young because there is a lot of music on it. Thus you conclude that they are intellectually superior to you. And efficiency is what we need. He said that it’s high time we did away with. very ill. We don’t like this and I don’t think they like it.That’s not the point.Donletti observed .Shouldn’t we explore? . causes you to admit that you should learn from them. to confuse you. .’ . . .Which is the good one? . As a result of this. It was during his meeting in Beardsmire.the first part of his speech seemed to be logical and probably appealed to the majority of the viewers. a small nearby town. our citizens. In such circumstances. You sort of can’t keep up with their line of reasoning at first because they say complicated things on purpose. There may have been mistakes.The one which opposes the good one. This. Furguson answered back and then went on to say: .What makes you think so? . . .. it also said yes. but I’m now preoccupied with thinking about somebody else: the man who was keeping the Itosu brothers company when I saw them. The court won’t give you permission because the man is not suspected of committing any crime. As they were talking. Our computer cannot even assure us that he exists. The computer has changed its interpretation of the phonic signal. .he stopped in mid-sentence and then continued: .Moreover. he could also be an inhabitant of anywhere in the world.I’m anxious to find out. . involving John Venson. . if it is one and the same person? .Either there is something wrong with the computer or the ‘Matcher’ itself is a faulty product.Moral relativism. We don’t even know who it is. . and said: . The ‘Matcher’ is out of order. And. . The final version is unbelievable. 256 . .You are under arrest .So you need to record the conversation. according to the computer. You can’t just take them to the police station and ask questions.That is? . say.I shall complain to the producer about their faulty product. buddy .Venson cried out and millions of viewers throughout America felt embarrassed by what they were seeing.What are these cops doing here?! . All the cities.a police officer said to Venson.What purpose would this serve? . Criminals like you shouldn’t be allowed to be at large. The latter approached Venson.What if these mysteries sort of converge. they witnessed an extraordinary scene on TV.But I can ask the man who interests us another question.That’s astonishing. But we can check it. it must have been you. . accompanied by several policemen who were followed by the Itosu brothers and Sataro.When our boys asked the computer whether the voice could belong to an inhabitant of New York. The whole world seems to be his motherland.So we have two people with unknown identities? .I haven’t got any proof for this. One of Venson’s bodyguards reached out for his gun but the weapon was quickly taken away from him.I forgot to tell you. .You have such a thorough understanding of these phenomena as if you yourself had undergone some sociological training . the Itosu brothers and the Japanese Ambassador..If ever I could have learned it from someone. .No.Have you been able to find out the identity of the mysterious caller from the unoccupied house? . Los Angeles too. . how did the ‘Matcher’ make out his voice as belonging to an inhabitant of this city? .There is no legal basis for interrogating him or the Itosu brothers. . The latter was very confused. just premonition.Donletti said jokingly. By the way..We would match his voice with that on the tape.Make the most of this occasion because it is your last opportunity to address the nation. . Also San Francisco.And? . No person in the world is capable of mastering to perfection so many different dialects. ‘Have you got a light?’ . Donletti said . . I take it? . saying: 257 .The officer means the other house that was blown up.What do you mean unoccupied? .Jet said annoyingly. His eyes looked like those of an owl when he was uttering these words. Their car pulled up just as Venson was being arrested. Jet immediately made out that something was strange but.I’m trying to find out if it was him who telephoned you from the unoccupied house when your house was damaged by the explosion. and the Ambassador’s brother have been arrested by your colleagues.wherever I go or even look.Don’t you show off with something you can’t handle .. prevented Sean from giving themselves away and said: . . .One of you has gone home. See what they are doing? The woman who was kidnapped has been freed. Furguson. They were just about to leave the office when their superior.Furguson said. they overtook all the vehicles on the road. your so-called ‘sightseeing’ is over. By the way..What we knew was only the tip of the iceberg. an Embassy employee. the two police officers headed for the place where public trouble was taking place. Just as they were getting in. . in order to protect Arky. where is Arky.Must we put up with policemen who keep asking ridiculous questions? . but why do I have to find this out through the radio? And now. Furguson and Donletti could not satisfy their curiosity. Maybe he was fed up with our company and went home. The problem was that the man was not there. Having little choice.Haven’t seen him for a while now. Then he recalled that he was to record the unknown man’s voice to check if it matched with that on the tape. Donletti began at once: . . gentlemen. brother. The Itosu brothers were there and so was Sataro and his boss . not ours. together with his brother and Sataro. From the very beginning we knew he was taking part in the whole affair.Arky? They told you to keep an eye on him.You should have informed me about your progress with the Japanese brothers’ case.Where does he live?. . but now he turns out to be involved in more than we allowed for. .You mean the one who played cat and mouse with you when you met him at his brother’s? . General Brownsher was put through on the phone: .Donletti interrupted. Soto Yabu. He turned away from Donletti and.Sean cut in. One of them was wearing a hat and the other had no hair and was wearing sunglasses. made his way to their car. they turn up out of the blue! I won’t be surprised if I find Jet Itosu when I go to the toilet.the policeman said.the legitimate Ambassador. too? Sean. What is this all about? I imagine you owe me some explanations. . the officer wants to have a chat with our new acquaintance. It seems there is little else for you to do today. The man with the hat pulled out his gun and pointed it at Donletti.These two really are something of a nuisance . Inspector Donletti. we have managed to find my brother’s wife and we have detained the kidnappers.OK. how did those Japs find their way to my TV? I can see them! I need an extensive report by tomorrow. .

Mr Prime Minister . After a quarter of an hour they were introduced to the Minister.

Now that the jewel story has been explained once and for all.It’s an honour for me to be spoken to in this way by you. As expected. was safe. Exhausted as he was. ‘That’s a real treasure’ . but now everything had been put in order again. that is .We have been invited by the Foreign Affairs Minister to lunch this evening . . The man had just disappeared when Jet’s mission had been completed. Jet Itosu made more mess than he could have expected: Not only had he found the Honshu Jewel which reminded him of his ancestors and the ancient times. He did not blame this on himself.Let’s not be concerned with exchanging pleasantries. one of our national souvenirs has been brought back to Japan. he was welcomed by his ‘next of kin’ . Jet fell asleep by the time they were up in the sky. though. we can afford to face even the Prime Minister. . The plane gathered speed and took off. the false Ambassador had been removed and the legitimate one put back in place. Jet Itosu and his wife came to the Minister’s residence that evening.

He was very proud of himself. But this was wrong. The latter said: . he realised that he had failed to say goodbye to his ‘helper’. he was in high spirits. but he had also got John Venson. who in turn introduced them to the Prime Minister. .

Mr Itosu. he was a different man.the Emperor seemed to be answering in his thoughts to Jet . They both laughed when Donletti said this. He shook hands with him.Let me now mention a few details relevant to the jewel’s history. ‘Hi. His eyes were still fixed on the threehundred-year old portrait. buddy’ . .

Jet blushed when he heard this. who continued his story. first of all. However.Jet said in his thoughts to the Emperor .From now on you will be regarded as a man whom our motherland owes something special. The Emperor won the war with China but then changed his mind about fighting. Itosu was surprised to find out that the police officer was also there. Let us now have the pleasure of hearing the Prime Minister’s lecture. The Minister. so if you don’t mind. During one of the battles he was unlucky enough to find himself surrounded by his enemies. who kept coming to Japan as missionaries. They allegedly convinced him to agree with their way of viewing the world and. On the left side of the Emperor’s forehead there was a rectangular scar.‘one for the fighting and one for the teaching’. It is my pleasure to announce that the Prime Minister has decided to decorate Mr Itosu with the Japanese Order of National Contribution.I hope my sightseeing will be different from your sightseeing in America. ‘Two beers. The Minister went on speaking: . nobody had refused to accept the Minister’s invitation to come.going to talk about. The same jewel which Mr Itosu has now brought back from America. His wife smiled from ear to ear. He looked at the portrait as he thought. It’s an honour for me to welcome all of you.Mr Jet Itosu will certainly be pleased to meet Inspector Donletti again. But Itosu didn’t. I sort of still owe you another beer’ .I hope no bomb will go off in my hotel. You can see him on the portrait here. by the time he died twenty years later. Several hundred years ago the Japanese Emperor declared war on China on the grounds of our vessels being attacked and robbed at sea. In order to express his gratitude to the Itosu family. All in all. All the people’s heads turned to the Emperor’s portrait and then back to the Prime Minister. He would have died if it hadn’t been for a dozen fighters from the Itosu family. Judging by appearances and the number of guests. Activity Below is a literary text whose author sets out to analyse the New Age philosophy on the basis of the Bible. I’m so glad to be receiving Mr Jet Itosu and his wife. and then the Prime Minister spoke again: .Namely? . as the host. The author’s original words are given in the key. the head of the Government began to speak: .Now it’s your turn to do sightseeing in Japan.Ladies and gentlemen. I will ask you and your wife to sit next to me and the Foreign Affairs Minister. . Having been invited to speak. The Emperor himself got wounded but he had a narrow escape. . who has accepted our invitation to come here tonight.

If a person makes .................... of demons' power in order to gain knowledge or power, the demons will eventually claim their fee. A demon's fee is to .................... a man of happiness, if possible - for ever. It is not feasible to carry out here a .................... analysis of New Age, because its symptoms are by far too numerous. Let us just .................... the feminist movement, which is beginning to suggest (with strong determination) that God should be .................... by a Goddess (in the Cathehism); politics, where the ideas of New Age are already widely accepted as dominating (especially in America), or .................... business. In many enterprises in America (and not only), compulsory meditation has been introduced, and thousands of people have been given the .................... for disobeying. .................... we are mentioning business, let us consider one of the latest on-tops. I once .................... to engage in reading a book by Og Mandino entitled The Greatest Secret of the World. (Bantam Books 1995). The author asserts that, .................... following his instructions, one can .................... success in one's life. What is meant by success here is, .................... of all, a high and permanent income. The key technique helping achieve this consists .................... merely repeating certain magic words, containing some .................... meaning (e.g. I am the greatest wonder of the world), by means of which one allegedly acquires some positive habits. These habits are in .................... transferred to the area of economic activity. In this way, the technique is said to have a good .................... on one's economic activity. There are some uncertainties here which, .................... examined and considered in depth, may lead one to conclusions .................... frightening to seem real. I shall not spare that part, however. Og Mandino writes in his book that, by .................... the magic words (for a given week), one will acquire good habits. The repeatedly uttered words will, according to the author, after some time .................... our subconsciousness. The writer tells us to note in our calendar how many .................... the given phrase for a given week was repeated, and then compare our profits 266 with the profits (income) from the earlier time. .................... the result will be positive - writes the author - is certain. My interviews with participants of such ‘treatment’ confirm this phenomenon. How does this come....................? The author later writes that the meanings penetrating our subconsciousness will after some time create in us a new consciousness of some..................... One might find it difficult to speculate what may be .................... by ‘another consciousness’, but the author describes it as a consciousness functioning independently of our proper consciousness, the one we have had. He also claims that the second consciousness, without our mental contribution, will take .................... of our business. In other words, you do not need to think about what needs doing in the firm, because the other consciousness of yours is doing the job. The average reader is not unlikely to ask now, full of irritation: ‘What is this .................... about?’. Let us be frank: The repeatedly uttered phrases are not .................... of bringing about a rapid growth of our economy, especially when without the participation of our effort (mental or of whatever other nature). The repeated phrases, as has been said, after some time bring into existence another consciousness .................... us. We need to distinguish here between the figurative meaning of the words ‘another consciousness’ (where we mean the same consciousness, but one .................... changes due to environmental factors) and the literal meaning of this phrase (where, beside the inborn and developing consciousness, there is another intelligent .................... within our mind). In the light of psychological...................., despite some changes in one's consciousness, one has, at a given moment, only one consciousness (in normal condition). This is .................... from the fact that we have only one mind. The Og Mandino technique, however, equips us with another consciousness, functioning (as the author admits) independently of our .................... consciousness. Taking into .................... the fact that one mind may only have one consciousness (excluding abnormal conditions described in psychological literature), it becomes apparent that the technique in question brings .................... mind into existence within a human being. We are therefore dealing with another intelligent being within ourselves. A being which, perhaps by better .................... to information, looks after our business better than we ourselves could. Even Og Mandino terms this phenomenon a bit unclearly: a spiritual guide. We have come to the point .................... further considerations are best made by using what is commonly called spiritual knowledge. Spiritualists (recently ‘on top’), term this phenomenon ‘the communication between us and the spiritual world through mediation’ (Spiritual Manual). This phenomenon is .................... as mild possession (Thomas Allen: ‘Possessed’). Spirituals do not believe that the spirit whom we get in .................... with could be evil, because, as they claim, no being is evil (‘Spiritual Manual’). One may have observed that, not only are these theories in disagreement with the .................... of the Bible, but that any spiritualistic (in the sense above) practice is a distortion of what the Christian faith teaches. The creation of another consciousness within our person is .................... by spiritualists as the presence of an alien spirit: ‘...also, the spirit controlling our human mind and our body in .................... to express healthy thoughts, gives more power, both to the brain and to the soul of the medium’ (Spiritual Manual). I believe that the associations of the Og Mandino techniques and those just mentioned are self-imposing ones, and there is no .................... to further clarify the connection. It is .................... mentioning here that I have revealed the connection between the techniques applied by Og Mandino and those used in spiritualism, making use of only their own sources, which may contribute to the feeling that this observation is objective. 267 It may now be conjectured that the repeated ‘sacred words’ .................... something that creates an atmosphere favourable for receiving an alien spiritual being (or, in the language of the Bible - the man is possessed). In the light of one of the theories, the ‘magic words’ contain enciphered .................... to pagan gods (in the light of the Bible, beings calling themselves gods violate the First Commandment - this is why they must be evil beings or, .................... specifically - demons). All this happens without our awareness, because the instructors ascertain that this technique only .................... at developing the feature of assertiveness. The ‘spiritual guide’, having a better access to information (for whatever reasons), is .................... capable of catering to our economic activity. Why this may be .................... place can only be answered in the light of the motivation of the being in question, the knowledge of which we may have none. The ideas of New Age, as was said in an earlier paragraph, are not being communicated straightforwardly, because then many present supporters would .................... this system of beliefs. The matter in great part comes down to the manipulation of subconsciousness. In the crosswords you will see more and more items .................... to the ancient deities; they make some kinds of music which is to relax (thereby taking us into ‘another state of awareness’). The movement displays features characteristic .................... an organised and top-controlled organisation. You may certainly encounter various glorifications of different, so-far-hardlyknown religions, but the chances of such treatment of the Christian faith are scarce. Attempts are seemingly .................... made to replace this religion with a ‘superreligion’, being a mixture of all beliefs. .................... this is against the Bible has already been shown. Some of the Readers may want to recall the Revelation of St. John, where the description of the ‘Beast from the Sea’ is described. Since New Age is under no other sign than .................... of Acquarius, a temptation forces itself along. Namely, we are tempted to expect that, what is described in the last of the Scriptures, may actually be a question of our own lifetime - perhaps the heavens will not .................... us waiting for another millennium. 268 Answer key 269 Part One Activity one 1. order, 2. weapon, 3. weight, 4. compare, 5. fasten, 6. board, 7. above, 8. earthquake, 9. stressed, 10. per, 11. speed, 12. spite, 13. affects, 14. skills, 15. alive, 16. behalf, 17. favourite, 18. enemy, 19. care, 20. disaster, 21. until, 22. priest.

The physicist and philosopher Fritjof Capra. as has been shown. In Christianity. To make their message more Bible-like. as has been quoted. Let us therefore carry out a brief examination of the ideas promoted by the leaders of New Age. The next message is that there is no good and no evil or. The idea of one being. behold. even many people considering themselves Christians claim that all religions are equally devoted to popularising the belief that good and evil are relative. one just out of many. 'I will ascend to heaven. In New Age circles it is believed that nothing is greater than the ‘collective mind of mankind’ and the idea of personal God is abandoned in favour of impersonal energy. According to the teachers of New Age. will be punished by being cast down to the Pit (which has come to be known as hell). a universal and non-varying being.. being everything’. ‘there's no right.. The ancient hilozoists also perceived matter as having its soul.

As we can see. Such thinking. Because you consider yourself as wise as a god. At the turn of the sixth and seventh century BC. into which everything merges itself. The ancient supporter of such views was. let us try to define the ideology of New Age.a unified entity.. there's no wrong’. Anaxymenus disseminated the idea of a unified being. such thinking will not endure even the definition of God Himself. where one part is black with a white spot. constitute what has been referred to as ‘God’. in which Christ allegedly identifies with every material and immaterial being. Isaiah says: ‘You said in your heart. in which everything is transformed from one state into another. Straightforward and frankly formulated ideas would discourage most of the present supporters of the movement. because they ‘teach about the unity of all things’. one would have to claim that God's Angels and Satan are one. in which the new awareness can transform us into superior stages of development. which is to show that good has always a part of evil in itself.

A demon's fee is to deprive a man of happiness. man is promised knowledge once he disobeys God. There has been a considerable amount of testimony. looking for a way to become healthy. The key technique helping achieve this consists in merely repeating certain magic words. it begins to appear that New Age is a symptom of (truly global) transgression of the First Commandment . In the light of the Bible. It cannot be a good being. Having considered what we have considered.

Another symptom of the occult is divining and fortune-telling (attempting to predict the future by means of some secret methods). Needless to say that this is nothing new.

If a piece of information gained by means of a pack of cards turns out to be true. if modern minds prefer . There are some uncertainties here which. (Bantam Books 1995). one can achieve success in one's life. first of all. containing some positive meaning (e. according to the author. while the various attempts to ‘synchronise one's energy with that of cosmos’ open channels through which something ‘not from the Lord’ may be brought within our person. for a good one would not disobey God. The truth is only one. It is not feasible to carry out here a thorough analysis of New Age. by means of the cards. which is beginning to suggest (with strong determination) that God should be replaced by a Goddess (in the Cathehism). It is highly improbable that one may get a piece of information by means of such techniques without harm being done to his soul (or. by means of which one allegedly acquires some positive habits. It also needs to be known that cards do not have their own mind. because the same Christ who will separate the wheat from the chaff says that He is ‘the Way. What is meant by success here is. because its symptoms are by far too numerous. however. but the chances of such treatment of the Christian faith are scarce. you do not need to think about what needs doing in the firm. because the other consciousness of yours is doing the job. where the description of the ‘Beast from the Sea’ is described. but one undergoing changes due to environmental factors) and the literal meaning of this phrase (where. In the crosswords you will see more and more items referring to the ancient deities. will take care of our business. making use of only their own sources. How does this come about? The author later writes that the meanings penetrating our subconsciousness will after some time create in us a new consciousness of some kind.. the spirit controlling our human mind and our body in order to express healthy thoughts. In the light of psychological knowledge. so-far-hardly-known religions. it becomes apparent that the technique in question brings another mind into existence within a human being. as they claim. functioning (as the author admits) independently of our proper consciousness.compare our profits with the profits (income) from the earlier time. one has. Let us be frank: The repeatedly uttered phrases are not capable of bringing about a rapid growth of our economy. beside the inborn and developing consciousness. which may contribute to the feeling that this observation is objective. In the light of one of the theories. as was said in an earlier paragraph. We have come to the point where further considerations are best made by using what is commonly called spiritual knowledge. The movement displays features characteristic of an organised and top-controlled organisation. both to the brain and to the soul of the medium’ (Spiritual Manual).the man is possessed). Why this is against the Bible has already been shown. perhaps by better access to information. The ‘spiritual guide’. Since New Age is under no other sign than that of Acquarius. at a given moment.also. It may now be conjectured that the repeated ‘sacred words’ contain something that creates an atmosphere favourable for receiving an alien spiritual being (or.writes the author . We are therefore dealing with another intelligent being within ourselves. Spiritualists (recently ‘on top’). He also claims that the second consciousness. looks after our business better than we ourselves could. only one consciousness (in normal condition). The matter in great part comes down to the manipulation of subconsciousness. John. but that any spiritualistic (in the sense above) practice is a distortion of what the Christian faith teaches. being a mixture of all beliefs. after some time bring into existence another consciousness within us. Why this may be taking place can only be answered in the light of the motivation of the being in question.is certain. beings calling themselves gods violate the First Commandment . the ‘magic words’ contain enciphered prayers to pagan gods (in the light of the Bible. The average reader is not unlikely to ask now. because then many present supporters would abandon this system of beliefs. The Og Mandino technique. This phenomenon is treated as mild possession (Thomas Allen: ‘Possessed’). The repeated phrases. Attempts are seemingly being made to replace this religion with a ‘superreligion’. is better capable of catering to our economic activity. in the language of the Bible . the one we have had. having a better access to information (for whatever reasons). despite some changes in one's consciousness. Spirituals do not believe that the spirit whom we get in touch with could be evil. more specifically demons).this is why they must be evil beings or. gives more power. It is worth mentioning here that I have revealed the connection between the techniques applied by Og Mandino and those used in spiritualism. full of irritation: ‘What is this all about?’. Some of the Readers may want to recall the Revelation of St.. but the author describes it as a consciousness functioning independently of our proper consciousness. a temptation forces itself along. Even Og Mandino terms this phenomenon a bit unclearly: a spiritual guide. My interviews with participants of such ‘treatment’ confirm this phenomenon. and there is no need to further clarify the connection. The creation of another consciousness within our person is confirmed by spiritualists as the presence of an alien spirit: ‘. That the result will be positive . as has been said. We need to distinguish here between the figurative meaning of the words ‘another consciousness’ (where we mean the same consciousness. there is another intelligent being within our mind). This is clear from the fact that we have only one mind. A being which. not only are these theories in disagreement with the teaching of the Bible. without our mental contribution. especially when without the participation of our effort (mental or of whatever other nature). I believe that the associations of the Og Mandino techniques and those just mentioned are self-imposing ones. equips us with another consciousness. no being is evil (‘Spiritual Manual’). term this phenomenon ‘the communication between us and the spiritual world through mediation’ (Spiritual Manual). are not being communicated straightforwardly. because. One might find it difficult to speculate what may be meant by ‘another consciousness’. Taking into account the fact that one mind may only have one consciousness (excluding abnormal conditions described in psychological literature). You may certainly encounter various glorifications of different. the knowledge of which we may have none. because the instructors ascertain that this technique only aims at developing the feature of assertiveness.
