I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl I had met in New York's Greenwich Village. Probably the story is one of those mysterious bits of folklore that reappear every few year, to be told anew in one form or another. However, I still like to think that it really did happen, somewhere, sometime.

几年前，我从纽约格林威治村遇到的女孩那里第一次听说这个故事。可能这个故事是每隔几年再现的少许神秘民间故事其中的一个，被重新或用另一种方式讲述。然而，我宁愿相信它真的发生过，在某个地点，某个时间。
