Lesson 1: The Last Leaf

In a little district west of Washington Square, the streets have run crazy and broken themselves into small strips called "places." These "places" make strange angles and curves. One street crosses itself a time or two. An artist once discovered a valuable possibility in this street. Suppose a collector with a bill for paints, paper and canvas should, in traversing this route, suddenly meet himself coming back, without a cent having been paid on account!

Translation:

在华盛顿广场西边的一个小区，街道纷乱不堪，分成了一些被称为“地方”的小块区域。这些“地方”形成了奇怪的角度和曲线。一条街道会交叉一两次。一位艺术家曾在这条街道上发现了一个有价值的可能性。假设一个买家手持着买颜料、纸和画布的账单，沿着这条路走，突然发现自己遇到了自己，而且一分钱也没有付账！

Lesson 2: Lost Spring
