If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, they will slowly become strong again. 1 knows this, and nobody would think of 2 the fact.
Yet there are many people who 3 to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that 4 has a good memory, he 5 means that he keeps his memory 6 practice by exercising it very 7 , either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is 8 , he means that he does not give it enough 9 to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of 10 people, one of 11 exercises his arms and legs by playing balls, while the other 12 in a chair or a car all day. If a friend of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own 13 .

Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind, 16 all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means

Have you ever 18 that people who cannot read or write usually have 19 memories than those who can? Why is this?

In a word, if you want to have a good memory, 20 practise remembering.

A Little Hero
A group of Italian soldiers led by a captain were advancing slowly toward the position of the enemy. They arrived at a farmhouse, in front of which sat a small boy, cutting a branch of a tree with his knife.
"What are you doing here?" asked the captain. "Why didn’t you leave with your family?"
"I don’t have any family," said the boy. "I’m an orphan. I used to work for the family that lived here. They’ve gone, but I stayed in order to see the fighting."
"Have you seen any Austrians pass by here?"
"Not within the last three days."
"Do you think you could climb that tree and tell me whether you see anything of the Austrians in the distance?"
"Sure!"
In a few minutes the boy was at the top of the tree.
"Look straight ahead," cried the captain, "and tell me what you see."
"Two men on horseback - nothing else."
"How far away?"
"About a mile and a half. They’re standing still." ….
"They’re shooting at me," said the boy. "but don’t worry. Let me tell you what’s to the left. Well, there’s a church and I think I see..."
A third bullet passed, and the boy was seen to fall suddenly from the tree, dead.
"Poor boy!" said the captain, covering the boy’s body with a national flag and saying, "He died like a soldier and we must bury him like a soldier."
Soon it was covered with flowers. He gave his life to his country.
