It was a beautiful spring morning. There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun was warm but not hot. Mr Black saw an old man at the bus stop with a big, strong, black umbrella (伞) in his hand. Mr Black said to him, “Do you think we are going to have rain today?” “No,” said the old man, “I don't think so.” “Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?” “No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”
Mr Black looked at the big umbrella again, and the man said, “I am an old man, and my legs are not very strong. I must have a walking-stick (手杖). But people will say, ‘Look! That man is so old.', and I don't like that. When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, ‘Look at that stupid (愚蠢的) man.”

This morning, a boy of twelve saw a small fire at one end of a ship. Tom left home very early, against the wishes of his father, to see the ships at the port. It was a good thing that he did, because there was nobody else around, and the small fire grew dangerously big very soon.
Tom stood near the ship and shouted at the top of his voice. He woke up the port workers living nearby.
The ship was one of the six big ships in port at the time and they were all carrying oil（石油）and paper.
The fire burned hundblacks of boxes of paper, so it spread very quickly. The end of the ship was black with smoke, but thanks to Tom, the fire didn't reach the oil.
Tom was also lucky, because his father was pleased rather than angry with him.
