I read a short story called A Shocking Accident. Writer of this story is Graham Greene. It have writed on 1967. The story is tradegy about of Jerome`s being killed by a falling pig.
The story starts when protagonist has called into his housemaster`s room. In room housemaster tells to Jerome that his father has died by accident. When she tells that she looks out of the window. Jerome thinks that she is doing it becauce she is lieing but the truth is she is doing it becauce she can`t look into Jeromes eyes and say that his father is died. Reason of dieing is incredible. He died because a pig falled on his neck! Jerome doesn`t believe the reason because he has always beliewed that his father is secret agent or something like that because he travelles so much.
Jerome has big problems with telling all people that how his father died. He doesn`t want that people start laughing when they hear that incredible reason. He has two methods how to tell it. First one is just telling straight how it happened and second one is a bit more complicated. When Jerome is older he has big problems on telling his fiancèe about his father. He scares at how his fiancèe called Sally takes it. That is the reason why Jerome hasn`t shown Sally to his aunt. But when the wedding day is coming he has to show Sally to his aunt. In aunt`s place Sally finally hears about Jerome`s father and on big Jeromes surprise she tooks it really well. Only what she asks is what happened to pig. Probubly the pig died because it falled on fifth floor and no one can survive it.
Short story was pretty good. Plot was easy so it was easy to catching up with it. I recommend this for anyone.
