The town of pressure and the town of pleasure were neighbors but had nothing in common.  Residents built walls to keep out influence from the other one.  In pressure, everyone struggled to be the very best. When women gave birth, they would compete to have the baby with the loudest cry.There was violent competition in every aspect of life. Because wealth was the index of success, people were always busy making money, with no time for relaxation. Some young people couldn't bear the intensity and resorted to drink or drugs to escape.  Meanwhile,over in pleasure, the motto was "as long as you like it, do it." People grew up without pressure and could do anything they liked. Children played computer games day and night. At school, teachers didn't care whether students showed up or not. Workers might sit around the office all day long sipping coffee and doing nothing. Thankd to the lack of regulations, nobody worried about losing their jobs. It was pleassure that mattered. No one had the slightest thought of moving forward, either for themselves or for the town. The computers they used were old models from pressure.  Some of the young were addicted to drugs because of the emptiness of their lives. Then , people in the two towns begn asking themselves,"What is life for?" But,just beforelife in the two towns xompletely failed, there came a saint--- Mr.Reason. He went from door to door, talking with people and giving  advice. People in pressure learnt to be content with what they had, while people in pleasure began to make plans. they pulled down the walls them and built a road to connect the two. The townpeople came to realize the truth---there is no space between pressure and pleasure if don't go to extremes.The town of pressure and the town of pleasure were neighbors but had nothing in common.  Residents built walls to keep out influence from the other one.  In pressure, everyone struggled to be the very best.
