Pencil Search - Part 2 (The Traffic Lights Story!)

I walked the road in hopes of finding someone who had a pencil on him that I could borrow. There around the bend where the shadow of the traffic lights was to be used as a substitute for real traffic lights, sat a bearded old man. That was an amazing cost cutting measure of the government, considering the fact that only people suffering from colour blindness were to use those lights. A real traffic lights post or a mere shadow of it would not matter to them, because they always had to guess the colour of the light that glowed anyway. The accidents rate was almost the same, so no one really complained.The only fact that bothered the government was that the installation of the traffic lights' shadow did cost more than the actual cost of installing actual lights. The major cost went into installing lights that would cause the shadow of the traffic lights in the nights, when understandably wasn't a natural source of light to cause the shadow.
