    English Passage-3

    A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the
    great confusion of the traffic and no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the
    pavement was the place for foot-passengers, but she replied, “I'm going to walk where! free.
    We've got liberty now.” It did not our to the dear lady that if liberty entitled the foot-passenger
    to walk down the middle of the road it also entitled the taxi-driver to drive on the pavement, and
    that the end of such liberty would be universal chaos. Everything would be getting in everybody
    else way and nobody would get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.
