KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

Now everybody's got a crazy notion of their own. Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone. It's no one elses' business as far as I can see, but every time that I go out the people stare at me, with me little ukulele in me hand.
现在每个人都有自己的疯狂想法。有些人喜欢和一群人混在一起，有些人喜欢独处。据我所知，这不关别人的事，但每次我出门，人们都盯着我看，手里拿着小尤克里里琴。
