Was what I heard made up in my mind? <br>If this is the case, what did a year later, <br>did those two students hear?</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Harris">David Harris</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=363518" data-title="Strange But True 2 - Footsteps On The Stairs de David Harris" data-description="I was a store man in an engineering factory, during the early 1960’s when this story took place.
