When I was young,I worked in San Francisco. I did my job well and my future was promising. I was alone in the world and I was happy. I didn't have to work on Saturdays. I enjoyed my time off in my little sailboat on San Francisco Bay. One Saturday afternoon,I sailed out too far. The strong wind pushed my sailboat out of the bay,into the Pacific Ocean
That night,when I had lost all hope,a small British boat saw me and took me on board. The boat was sailing to London. The voyage was long and stormy. I worked as a sailor to pay for my trip.
When I arrived in London,my clothes were old and dirty. I had only one dollar in my pocket. With this dollar,I ate and slept for the first twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four hours,I didn't eat and I didn't sleep. The following morning,I went to Portland Place. I saw a child walking past,holding a big pear. The child ate one small piece and then threw the pear onto the street.
I stopped and looked at it. I was very hungry and I really wanted that pear. But every time I tried to get it, someone passed by and looked at me. I quickly turned in the other direction and waited for the person to pass by. I tried again and again to get that pear,but the same thing happened. I was hopeless. But soon I made a determination(决心)to get the pear and not to worry about the people who saw me.
Then,a gentleman opened a window behind me and said,"Come in here,please. "A well-dressed servant took me into a beautiful room. Here,two old gentlemen were sitting and discussing something important. Their breakfast was still on the table. I was very hungry and I stared at their breakfast. I want to tell the reader that the two gentlemen had made a bet(打赌)several days before. I knew nothing about the bet until later. Let me tell you what happened.
①Ashamed. ②Disappointed. ③Nervous. ④Brave.
