　　After breakfast Mrs Cotton said to Kurt,“ You really ought to tidy your room．I should have cleaned it weeks ago but it's been impossible because of all your things all over the place．”

　　So Kurt went upstairs and began to sort out all his belongings．There were a lot of things that ought to have been thrown out ages ago．Among the things he found some old school reports from St．Mark's Grammar School where he was educated．They had been put into the drawer years ago and hadn't been taken out for ages．Kurt looked through these and thought about some of the boys and masters he used to know．Most of the boys had done much better than he had；they had all either got good jobs or were studying at university．
