16．It was dark．As John was walking on his way home，he suddenly found an ugly old man staring at him．The old man said，"Son，why don't you get a book？It will keep you company．"John noticed all the books the old man had were related to the super nature （超自然界）．Trying to act bravely，he found one and the old man said，"That's an interesting book．It's 25．"TheoldmankeptstaringatJohn，whichalmostfrightenedhim．Hequicklysearchedhispocketsandfound25．John quickly paid for it．Then the old man called out，"Whatever happens，don't turn to the last page．Do remember，or you will regret it!"
Reaching home，John heard his parents talking about a strange old book seller that appeared only at night during a full moon and then disappeared．Nervously，he ran straight to his room．
At midnight，as he was sound asleep in bed，a blast of cold wind blew in through the window and woke him up．He looked at his table and saw the book．For a while，he was frozen in fear，but he was so curious．Slowly he got out of bed and carefully picked up the book．
As he took a look at the last page，he cried out and fainted （暈倒）．
This is what he read on the last page!
