Summary in English (200 words):
'The Midnight Visitor' is a story about Ausable, a secret agent, who defies the stereotypical image of a spy. He is described as fat and clumsy, much unlike the glamorous spies portrayed in fiction. Fowler, a young writer, meets him expecting to witness thrilling espionage but is disappointed by Ausable's unimpressive appearance. However, Ausable surprises Fowler by outwitting Max, a rival agent. Max sneaks into Ausable's room to steal a confidential report, but Ausable tricks him into believing that there is a balcony outside the window. When the police knock on the door, Max tries to escape through the non-existent balcony and falls to his death. The story showcases how Ausable uses his wit and quick thinking to deal with the threat without any violence.

- A small fire starts in your kitchen.
- A child starts to choke on a piece of food.
- An electrical appliance starts to hiss and gives out sparks.
- A bicycle knocks down a pedestrian.
- It rains continuously for more than twenty-four hours.
- A member of your family does not return home at the usual or expected time.
- If a child starts choking, I would immediately perform the Heimlich maneuver or encourage them to cough it out if itтАЩs mild.
- If an electrical appliance hisses and sparks, I would turn off the main power switch and unplug the appliance, avoiding touching it directly. Then, IтАЩd contact an electrician.
- If a bicycle knocks down a pedestrian, I would first check for any injuries and help the person to a safe place. IтАЩd call for medical assistance if necessary and ensure the cyclist is also unharmed.
- If it rains continuously for over twenty-four hours, I would monitor weather updates, ensure all windows and doors are secured, and prepare for potential flooding or power outages.
- If a family member doesnтАЩt return home on time, IтАЩd first try calling them and checking their usual route. If they donтАЩt respond for an extended time, IтАЩd contact friends, neighbors, or the authorities for assistance.
