The Wayle is a small river that cuts
across the park near my home.I like
sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons.
It was warm last Sunday,so I went and
sat on the river bank as usual.Some child-
ren were playing games on the bank and
there were some people rowing on the
river.Suddenly,one of the children
kicked a ball very hard and it went to-
wards a passing boat.Some people on the
bank called out to the man in the boat,
but he did not hear them.The ball struck
him so hard that he nearly fell into the
water.I turned to look at the children,
but there weren't any in sight:they had
all run away!The man laughed when he
realized what had happened.He called out to the children and threw the ball
back to the bank.

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was
telling me about his expcriences as a
young man.Frank is now the head of a
very large business company,but as a
boy he used to work in a small shop.It
was his job to repair bicycles and at that
time he used to work fourteen hours a
day.He saved money for years and in
1938 he bought a small work-shop of his
own.During the war Frank used to make
spare parts for aeroplanes.At that time
he had two helpers.By the end of the
war,the small work-shop had become a
large factory which employed seven hun-
dred and twenty-eight people.Frank
smiled when he remembered his hard
early years and the long road to success.He was still smiling when the door
opened and his wife came in.She wanted him to repair their son's bicycle!

People are not so honest as they once
were.The temptation to steal is greater
than ever before--especially in large
shops.A detective recently watched a
well-dressed woman who always went
into a large store on Monday mornings.
One Monday,there were fewer people in
the shop than usual when the woman
came in,so it was easier for the detective
to watch her.The woman first bought a
few small articles.After a little time,she
chose one of the most expensive dresses
in the shop and handed it to an assistant
who wrapped it up for her as quickly as
possible.Then the woman simply took
the parcel and walked out of the shop
without paying.When she was arrested,the detective found out that the shop-
assistant was her daughter.The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !

Nearly a week passed before the girl was
able to explain what had happened to her.
One afternoon she set out from the coast
in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
Towards evening,the boat struck a rock
and the girl jumped into the sea.Then
she swam to the shore after spending the
whole night in the water.During that
time she covered a distance of eight miles.
Early next morning,she saw a light ahead.
She knew she was near the shore because
the light was high up on the cliffs.On
arriving at the shore,the girl struggled up
the cliff towards the light she had seen.
That was all she remembered.When she
woke up a day later,she found herself in
hospital.
