Last night, my partner John and I went to the levees (堤岸) where I was relearning how to run. He supported on his bike and I went as fast or as slow as my old legs wanted to take me. Ahead of us was a very old man with a plastic bag who seemed to be unable to walk a straight line. John said, "You keep running, and I will check on him."
John was holding his hand. John told the man, "We are going to come back this way. If you are still here, we will check on you." The man said he was fine but he was going to stay down for a bit. He was on the ground at the bottom of the levee and off a walkway that backed up into other people's homes. We ran on for 10-15 minutes or so and turned around.
John rode ahead to see if he was still there. When I got to the spot, there was John and the man. The man didn't look fine — he was stumbling (蹒跚而行) around and seemed lost.
The man in the meantime tried to climb up the levee and fell again and as he sat there, I walked down. I said, "Hi, my name is Mia, what's your name?" He laughed and looked at me. I said light-heartedly, "I am relearning how to run. I didn't realize it was so difficult." He said, "Oh my son and I run too — yeah it's not always easy."
It was starting to get dark. Turns out the man's name was John also. I said, "Shall we walk together, John?" He said, "Okay." He didn't want me to grab his hand or arm to help him, so I said, "I'll just stand by you if that is okay." "That's okay," he said.
We walked down the levee together with John riding behind. Through our walk he swerved (急转弯) from either side of the levee — I stayed calm and moved to either side casually trying not to look like I was blocking.
