Describe Harris experience in the Hampton Court maze
Answers
Harris had to face a lot of embarrassment inside the maze at Hampton Court on account of his over-confidence and boastful attitude. Harris thought the maze was too simple to be called a maze. As he went inside, he found people struggling to find their way out. He scolded them for their inability to find the way out. He told them to keep taking the first turning to the right for ten minutes, and they will find the way out. Harris began walking, taking the right turn; many people began following him. Even after walking for a long time they could not find the way out. Harris suggested they would go back and start afresh. However hard Harris tried, he could not find the way out. Finally people became angry with him, and the experienced maze keeper was called and took everyone out.
Harris got a map of the hedge maze, and he thought he knew very well how to navigate it. He took a cousin along and assured him that they would need only 10 minutes to pass through the hedges successfully. Once in the maze, the two men kept meeting people who were lost inside it. Harris invited everyone to follow him, since he knew what he was doing. Well, naturally, the whole group ended up getting lost. They just couldn’t find their way back out, no matter which way they turned. Consulting the map didn’t help at all. Eventually the group yelled for the keeper of the maze for help. The keeper was young and new to the job, though. He brought a ladder and climbed into the maze to help the visitors – and promptly got lost, himself. They all had to wait until an older and more experienced keeper came back from his dinner, before everyone was led successfully out of the maze.
