    I was eight years old when I got my first pair of football boots.   This may not seem funny now, but in those days clothing was rationed   (配给) 1 the war, and I knew my father had to go   2 a coat to give it to me on my birthday.

       After school I went to play 3 in a park at the other end of the   town, and after my first game I walked 4 the park to the bus stop.   When we were 5 the town center, I happened to look   6 and saw I was holding just one boot. I looked under the seat but there was no   7 of the other one. Of course, I was only eight and not used to   8 boots together. One of them must have come undone. I could   9 my parents' faces when I told them I had lost it.

       I jumped off the bus and caught one going in the 10 direction. To my surprise, a lady who was a friend of my mother's was on it, and she   was surprised 11 , because she couldn't understand 12 I was going that   way at that time in the afternoon. I told her what had happened and   she wished 13 good luck.

       When I got to the park, I started walking slowly across it trying   to remember all of the various 14 roads I had taken. Suddenly, after   about 100 meters, I saw the boot 15 all by itself in the middle of the   grass. It seemed such a small object that I thought it was a miracle   that I had found it.

  We learned something was happening when one of the ship’s officers came up to the chief engineer, who was sitting at the table, and spoke to him in a low voice.The chief engineer got up at once, and with a short excuse, left the dining-room.We thought that there had been an accident or that a fire had broken out.We soon noticed that the ship was slowing down, and then, with a sudden violent motion, it began to turn around, some of the passengers stopped eating and rushed up to the deck.Others crowded around the ship windows and we finally joined the watchers.

  It turned out that one of the sailors had seen a man in the ocean some distance from the ship.The captain had then ordered the ship to be turned around at once.A lifeboat had already been lowered into the water.In it were four sailors, an officer and the ship’s doctor.About two hundred yards away, the man was seen holding on something that looked like a broken part of a small fishing boat.
