　　Dick was born in a farmer's family. He had to study in the town when he was small. He liked playing and was not good at his lessons. So he could do nothing when he grew up. But he didn't want to be a farmer or worker. He left the poor village and came to the city. On the train he met a young man named Jim. They became good friends soon, but they couldn't find any work. They had to beg (乞讨) from door in the daytime arid sleep on the chairs in the garden at night. The weather was warm and they always thought they had a good time.

　　But one evening a shop near the garden was robbed. The policeman went there at once. They found the two young men in the garden and brought them to the police station.

　　“Where do you live, young man?”asked a policeman.

　　“I live everywhere, sir,”said Dick,“the fields, the parks, the hills, the gardens……”

　　The policeman stopped him and turned to Jim.“And where do you live?”

　　“I'm his neighbour,”said the young man.“I live next door to him.”
