　　It had been an ambitious plan. The anarchist had tried to rob a bank all by himself, but then he had ran out of ammunition and now he was trapped in a back portion of the bank building with no escape.

　　As he stood in silence, hugging his gun and waiting to be found, the anarchist knew that there would be ample anecdotes from newspaper analysts the next day to amend to his obituary. They would certainly refer to the anguish he had undergone as a child. Then they would employ all their analytical abilities to reveal other impacts of his ancestry on his ambiguous life.

　　These thoughts flew from his mind however when an angel suddenly appeared to him. He fell to his knees, sure that the Almighty God was coming to take him home. His fears were only amplified when the angel said in an alluring yet powerful voice, "Fear out, your time is short. Stop your goal to amass a foutune for yourself and turn to God."

　　Not having any analogy to help him know what to say, or any reference for his excellent analytic abilities to think about, the anarchist only kneeled in silence and empty thought.

　　Then the angel smiled and spoke again in a more amiable voice, "Stand up. The Lord is providing you a chance to lead an alternate life. Leave this place now through the rear buildings annex and you will escape. But remember, God is watching."

　　When the angel was gone the anarchist stood and ran. He had no idea how to describe this experience by analogy, but he was happy for a second chance. ?

　　第二次機會

　　這是一個野心勃勃的計劃，這名無政府主義者想自己一個人搶劫銀行，但后來他沒了彈藥，被困在銀行大樓的后面無處可逃。

　　他靜靜地站著，緊緊地抱著槍，等著被發現，這時無政府主義者知道，第二天將有足夠的報紙分析家撰寫的軼事修改他的訃告。他們肯定會提到他小時侯經歷的極度痛苦，然后運用他們所有的分析能力揭示他的祖先對他的含糊不清的生活方式的影響。

　　當這些想法在他的腦海里閃現，然而這時突然出現了一個天使。他跪下來，心想肯定是萬能的上帝要抓他回去。天使的聲音具有誘惑力和威懾力，這更增加了他的恐懼。“別害怕，你的時間不多了，別再為自己積累財富了，仰賴上帝吧。”

　　由于沒有任何類比可以幫他知道該說什么，也沒有任何參考供他優秀的分析能力進行思考，這名無政府主義者只能靜靜地跪著，腦子一片空白。

　　這時天使笑了，并且用更加友好的聲音說道：“起來吧!上帝正給你一次機會讓你過一種供選擇的生活，現在你就穿過后面建筑物的附屬建筑，離開這個地方，你會逃走的。但是記住，上帝在看著你。”

　　天使消失后，無政府主義者站起來跑掉了。他不知道如何用類推的方法描述這次經歷，但是他很高興能有第二次機會。
