An interesting tree house

Terry Meredith is 65 years old this year. He is from the UK. People call him “World’s Greatest Grandpa”. Because he built a super cool tree house for his family.

The tree house is in his back yard with two beds, ten seats and a BBQ. It is five metres above the ground. It can hold ten people and even have a party in it. It took the old man eight months to build and he did most of the work and he also got some help from his good friend.

Many people are interested in this tree house. They often ask if they can use the space for special activities and he’s happy to do it. “I want to share the amazing views with my family and friends. It’s a good place to watch the sunset, to hang out with family and have a laugh. I love it.” Mr. Meredith says.

After I graduated (毕业) from the police school, I could not wait to play my part in saving the world. On my first day, however, I found out that I still had a lot to learn.

I felt excited that day and arrived at the police station early. At 7 a.m., I went into my office. It was a nice morning. I introduced myself to my colleagues (同事) and nothing special happened.

It was not until lunchtime that we received a call. An alarm had gone off at a building. This could be a theft—the first of my Job! I arrived at the scene with a colleague of mine. We found a company building. It was all locked up. The building was surrounded (围绕着) by a two-meter-high fence with razor wire (刺钢丝) on the top.

The owner was away. My colleague called him to ask how we could get inside. I offered to help. I climbed the fence and got up to the top after a few minutes. I was trying to get my leg over the razor wire when my jeans got snagged (钩住).

I heard my colleague say, “Hey! Spiderman!” I looked down and saw that the owner had arrived. They opened the gate and went inside while I had to try to free myself.

When we finally got back in the car, my colleague smiled at me and said, “We learn something new every day.” I knew it was his polite way of saying, “You silly rookie (新手)!”
