But soon, the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more. Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano — and he was going to pay her $50 an hour. “Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you kept up your lessons. ” Delia said that it didn’t matter.

So I did and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand.” Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked.

I’ve been working in a drugstore (藥店），and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you — well，I guessed.” They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art ..,” Delia put her fingers to his lips (嘴唇). “No, Joe,” she said, “just ‘When you love ...’” did Joe most probably feel when he first knew about Delia’s plan?

Many of these places are in the Four Comers area, where the states of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico meet. More than 7,000 rock art places have been found just in Utah, where the area’s dry climate （氣候）has helped keep the art. There are three forms of rock art. The first is petroglyphs，which are pictures carved (雕刻）into the surface of rock. A sharp (尖利的）stone may have been used as a carving tool.
