Oh ! My God Story NO. 66

Unexpected visitors

The New York buildings are huge.
Many buildings are over two hundred meters.
When you look up from the ground,

you see something looks like a sesame seed by the window.
It's a window cleaner of the building.

The window cleaning is at the risk of his life.
They climb up with a lift board which can carry three people.
Two or three men go up a hundred, two hundred meters from the ground.
It can be three or four hundred meters if it's a tall building.
It's terrible just to imagine.

By the way, my room is on the thirty fifth floor.
My room is located at about one hundred and twenty meters high.
It has a good view and nothing to block an open space.

But occasionally these window cleaners suddenly appear.
I will be surprised.
Then they will go up and down.

If you don't have a curtain or a shade in your room,

they can see everything.
When I see them, I immediately lower the window shade.

But it won't be a nice to lower the shade right away.
So I will exchange greetings with the smile and lower the shade.

But I want to beg them not to appear all of a sudden.
I'll be shocked to death.
