"Iwant to be a sailor and go to sea," I told my mother and father. They werevery unhappy about this.
"Please don't go," my father said. "You won't be happyyou know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life. "Because I lovehim, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.
But Icouldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father hada ship and my friend said to me, "We are sailing to London tomorrow. Whydon't you come with us?"

"Well, Robinson," my friend laughed, "how do you feelnow? The wind wasn't too bad."
"What!" I cried. "It was a terrible storm!"
"Oh,that wasn't a storm," my friend answered, "just a little wind. Forgetit, come and have a drink."

Macs I went to Macs with my friend last night. It's not big, and it's just opposite the square to the train station. My friend had fried chicken and I had pizza. The prices weren't high. Our food was served within ten minutes and it tasted great. We were both happy with our food. |
