     Joe Biggs was a butcher (屠夫). His shop was in a village in one of the most beautiful parts of southern
England. He worked in it for many years while his father was there. Then, when his father reached the age
of 65, he stopped working in the shop. Joe was alone in it, so he had to work harder.
     Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop shut at one o'clock on Thursday, and it was shut the
whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the busiest days.
     Joe had a big fridge in his shop, but he tried not to buy too much meat at a time.
     One Thursday a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. "I'm sorry I'm very late," she said,
"but some people have just telephoned to say that they are going to come to dinner tonight, and I need some
more meat."
     Joe only had one piece of good meat in the shop. He had sold all the rest earlier in the day. He took the
piece out and said to the woman. "This is £7 15." "That piece is too small," the woman answered. "Haven't
you got anything bigger?"
     Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the fridge, put the piece of meat into it, took it out again
and shut the door of the fridge with a lot of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and
said, "This piece is bigger and more expensive. It's £9. 30."

     James wrote a play for television about a family who came to England from India, and the play was
very interesting. It was bought by an American TV company.
     James was then invited to go to New York to help them. He lived in Washington, which is an hour
away from New York by air. The plane was going to take off at 8:30 in the morning. So he had to be
at the airport at about 7:30. He ordered a taxi for 6 :30 and went to sleep. He forgot to wind (土条)
the clock, and it stopped after midnight. Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and
he got up very late the next morning.
     James woke with the feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his clock. It stood there silently
with the hands pointing to ten past twelve. He turned on the radio and knew it was ten. He was late for
the plane.
     He was just preparing his coffee when the radio sent out another news, ''Reports are coming in of a
plane crash (飞机坠落) near Washington airport. A Boeing 707 fly to New York crashed shortly after 
taking off this morning. Plane  number  2234…"
     James suddenly turned pale (苍白).
     "My plane,"  he said aloud.   "If I haven't been late,  I'd have been on the plane!"
