9.A Soldier's
Brilliant Idea
Mr. Robinson had to travel
somewhere on business, and as he was
in a
hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked sitting
beside a window
when he was flying, so when he
got on to the plane, he looked for a
window
seat. He found all of them had already been taken
except for
one. There was a soldier sitting in
the seat beside this one, and Mr.
Robinson was
surprised that he had not taken the one by the
window;
but, anyhow, he at once went towards
it.
When he reached it, however, he saw that
there was a notice on it.
It was written in
ink and said,
(保留)
for proper
load
balance
(装载平衡)
, thank you.
an unusual
notice in a plane before, but he thought that the
plane must
be carrying something particularly
heavy in it, so he walked on and
found another
empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.
Two or three people tried to sit in the window
seat beside the soldier,
but they also read
the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly
full, a very beautiful girl hurried into the
plane. The soldier, who was

watching the passengers
coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat
beside himself and in this way succeeded in
having the company of the
girl during the
whole trip.

Mrs Harris lives in a small
village. Her husband is dead, but she
has one
son. He is twenty-one and his name is Geoff. He
worked in the
shop in the village and lived
with his mother, but then he got work in a
town and went and lived there. Its name was
Greensea. It was quite a
long way from his
mother's village, and she was not happy about
this,
but Geoff said, isn't any good work for
me in the country,
Mother, and I can get a lot
of money in Greensea and send you some
every
week.
Mrs Harris was very angry last Sunday.
She got in a train and went to
her son's house
in Greensea. Then she said to him,
never phone
me?
Geoff laughed.

George had a friend. His name was Mark. One day
George offered
to take Mark up in his plane.
Mark thought, travelled in a big
plane several
times, but I've never been in a small one, so I'll
go.
They went up, and George flew around for
half an hour and did all
kinds of tricks in
the air.
When they came down again, Mark
was very glad to be back
safely, and he said
to his friend in a shaking voice, George,
thank you very much for those two trips in
your plane.
Gerogy was very surprised and
said,

Ugly
Duckling
Long ago, in a farmyard many miles
away, a Mother Duck sat on
her nest. She was
waiting for her eggs to hatch. Each day she
proudly
looked at them. There were six eggs,
which meant six little ducklings to
teach to
swim.
One sunny spring morning, the first egg
began to crack(破裂)..
'Tap, tap, tap,' went
the duckling inside, trying to get out. Mother
Duck watched as the egg cracked open and out

Splish! Splosh! Splash! Splish! She turned

water.
The sixth duckling was very good
at swimming, and was soon
swimming better than
his brothers and sisters.
Back at the
farmyard, things did not go well for the little
duckling.
Everyone called him an ugly
duckling. The chickens laughed at him,
the
turkeys chased(追逐) him and the geese hissed at
him.
Soon even his brothers and sisters would
not talk to him, but when his

mother turned away, he was
very sad. He decided to leave the
farmyard.
One sunny morning, he walked out of the
farmyard and didn't look
back. He wandered
away, looking for somewhere new to live.
When
he'd been walking a while he came to a large lake.
There were
some ducks swimming on it.
He
swam up to them.

Some
ducks began to fly up to leave, but suddenly loud
bangs were
heard. Two of the ducks fell from
the sky. Others flew up in fright(惊
恐), and
more fell as more bangs were heard.
The
duckling ran and hid. He found a bush and stayed
there until the
noise had died down. When it
was quiet he sadly left the lake and
headed
away over the fields.
He came to another lake
and there he stayed. Winter was coming and
he
was alone. As the days grew colder, he found that
it was harder to
find food.
The one
morning he woke and found that he couldn't move.
The lake
had frozen and he was stuck in the
ice. The day passed and the
往链点点通

duckling was giving up hope
of being found. But late in the afternoon a
man walking his dog saw him. He broke the ice,
and the duckling was
free. He ran across the
ice and hid. He didn't dare to go on the ice
again.
Winter passed, spring came, and
the ice melted.
The duckling stretched his
wings and found that they were strong
enough
to carry him. He flew upon and over the lake, high
above the
trees and fields. He should have
been very happy, but he was not
because he
felt so lonely.
A few days later, he looked
up to see the large white birds he had seen
in
the autumn. They looked beautiful as they landed
on the lake. The
duckling
admired([ədˈmaiə]vt.钦佩,羡慕) their glossy (
[ˈglɔsi].光

He swam over to take a closer
look at them.
he said shyly. you tell me who you are. You

Look at yourself in the water.
The duckling
looked and caught sight of his own reflection. He
gasped

seeing a fat, grey duckling he
saw a swan with

Then it was time to go flying with all
of the other swans and, as the
duckling took
off from the lake, he could see his new beautiful

'Yes,' said the other lady, 'and the drivers

They ought to be ashamed of themselves.'

Nasreddin
was cutting a branch of a tree in his garden.
While he was
sawing, another man passed in the
street. He stopped and said, 'Excuse
me, but
if you continue to saw that branch like that, you
will fall down
with it.' He said this because
Nasreddin was sitting on the branch and
cutting it at a place between himself and the
trunk of the tree.
Nasreddin said nothing. He
thought, 'This is some foolish person who
has
no work to do and goes about telling other people
what to do and
what not to do.'
The man
continued on his way.
Of course, after a few
minutes, the branch fell and Nasreddin fell with

A man was travelling abroad in a small
red car. One day he left the car
and went
shopping. When he came back, its roof was badly
damaged.
Some boys told him that an elephant
had damaged it. The man did not
believe them,
but they took him to a circus which was near
there. The
owner of the elephant said, 'I am
very sorry! My elephant has a big,
round, red
chair. He thought that your car was his chair, and
he sat on
it!' Then he gave the man a letter,
in which he said that he was sorry
and that he
would pay for all the damage.
When the man
got back to his own country, the customs officers
would
not believe his story. They said, 'You
sold your new car while you were
abroad and
bought this old one!'
It was only when the
man showed them the letter from the circus man
that they believed him.

An old man died and left his son a lot of
money. But the son was a
foolish young man,
and he quickly spent all the money, so that soon
he
had nothing left. Of course, when that
happened, all his friends left him.
When he
was quite poor and alone, he went to see
Nasreddin, who was
a kind, clever old man and
often helped people when they had troubles.
'My money has finished and my friends have
gone,' said the young man.
'What will happen
to me now?'
'Don't worry, young man,'
answered Nasreddn. 'Everything will soon be
all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel
much happier.'
The young man was very glad.
'Am I going to get rich again then?' he
asked
Nasreddin.
'No, I didn't mean that,' said the
old man. 'I meant that you would soon
get used
to being poor and to having no friends.'
