Mr. and Mrs. Brown lived in a small town near London with their children. Sometimes Mr. Brown came back home from work very late, when his wife and the children were asleep, and then he opened the front door of this house with his key and came in very quietly. But one night when he was coming home very late, he lost his key, so when he reached his house, he rang the bell. Nothing happened. He rang it again. Again nothing happened. Nobody moved inside the house. Mr. Brown knocked at(敲)the bedroom window, he spoke to his wife, he shouted, but she didn’t wake up. At last he stopped and thought for a moment. Then he began to speak like a small child. “Mother! ”he said. “I want to go to the toilet!” He spoke quite quietly but at once Mrs. Brown woke up. Then he spoke to her, and she opened the door for him.

Mr. Hunt came from a poor family. He had three brothers and two sisters. His father worked hard but wasn’t paid much. And his mother did all the housework at home. They were both able but they couldn’t get enough money for their family.

Mr. Hunt was in school for only three years and he had to stop to help his parents though he was good at his lessons. When he was sixteen, he came to the city and began to work in a small factory. He learned from an old worker and became a skilled worker. The old worker liked him and married his daughter to him. The young man did not have his own house and had to live with his parents-in-law. His mother-in-law always thought he was poor and often chattered. So the young man tried to save everything and hoped to have his own house.

It was one fine Sunday. The old woman wanted to have a picnic on the top of the hill. She told Mr. Hunt to drive her car. But sometimes she told him to turn left and sometimes to turn right. The young man had to listen to her. At a crossing the lights were red but she made him turn left. The policeman stopped them and told the young man to give his license to him.

“If I did wrong, sir,” said Mr. Hunt, “It was my mother-in-law’s fault(過錯). She was driving the car though she sat behind me!”

I often had to go there myself, so I knew and told him .A few minutes later an old lady wanted to know whether the train to Shanghai had already left. I knew that it had not, So of course ,I told her . Then a girl came to me and asked why the train from Nanjing was late.
