One Sunday, Cody decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Dane, but Dane happened to be away.
Dane's brother Brett wanted to go instead though he did not know anything about sailing. Cody agreed and
they set out to sea.
     Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Cody was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Fortunately
(幸運地) he saw a large buoy (浮標) through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was
getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying Brett
who did not know how to use the radio. He drifted (漂流) about and was not seen until twelve hours later.
     Cody spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep and was having a bad dream when
a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain. The
captain told him that Brett had been picked up by another ship and the ship's captain had sent out a message.

     Four years ago, when Mr Ted was sixty, he retired.  He left the restaurant in which he had worked
for forty-three years and returned to his home village. There he bought a small piece of farm and planted
a lot of apple trees in it. He took good care of them and this year there were plenty of apples on the trees. The old man was very happy.
     But these days the old man had been worried. Nearly every night this garden was broken into and
plenty of apples had been lost. So he decided to do his best to catch the thief himself. Last night he sat in
a tree and carefully watched who would come and pick the apples. At midnight, Mr Ted was so tired that he went to sleep. Suddenly some noise woke him up. The noise came from a big tree. He went there
gently and saw a boy standing under the tree with a bag full of apples.  At once he recognized he was
Tom who lived just next to him.
     "How can you do that, Tom?" the old man became angry and shouted." I'll tell your father about it! "
