In this chapter, we are told that if you become very afraid of your job, we suggest that you take a holiday. We are also told that Mr. gong will be waiting for you at the subway station when the train arrives. The narrator tells us that the subway is very crowded, and that he is jealous that he has been getting closer and closer to the narrator. He tells the narrator to stop complaining and to take a cab instead. He says that it took him a long time to get used to the idea of paying for a cab, but that he will show the narrator the things he writes next time.
