　　Fred was born in a rich family．His father had a big company and he had four brothers．He was the strongest of them five but he did not like to use his head．Of course he could not pass the examinations．

　　Suddenly the war broke out．Young men were called on to join the army．His father thought for a long time and at last decided to send him to the military camp(军营)．Soon after that he was sent to France where they fought with Germans．The young man hated the life in the camp．They could not be supplied with enough food and had to live in the cold and wet houses, sometimes they had to sleep on the hard ground and he was often afraid to be shot．He usually remembered the life in his country and tried to leave the camp．

　　Once he made an excuse in order not to the front．Another soldier whose name was Bob reported the captain about it．Fred was punished for it．He hated Bob and the captain very much．In a fight he hurt the captain and he was sent to the court(法庭)at once．

　　“Have you hurt the captain, Fred?” asked a judge．

　　“Yes, I have, sir, ”answered the young man, “but it was a fortuitous(偶然的)accident．”

　　“Oh?” the judge said in surprise, “Why?”

　　“The captain was standing just in front of Bob while I was shooting at the young soldier．So I hurt him by mistake．”

　　Dangerous Creatures

　　Some beach creatures are wonderful-like dolphins, but others are dangerous．Find out more about the dangerous ones－puffer fish, blue ringed octopus, and stingrays．The blue ringed octopus is not a very big creature but it is very dangerous．

　　These octopuses are found all around the coast of Australia．They often lie in rock pools close to shore．The blue ringed octopus is usually a dull color but it shows its bright blue rings when it is in danger．If it is taken out of the water it is able to bite a person and poison them．If this creature bites someone they will feel numbness(麻木)around the mouth, face and neck．

　　Puffer Fish

　　Puffer Fish are found in all Australian seas．They are very easy to catch but must not be eaten because their flesh and internal organs contain a poison．

　　Anyone who does eat the flesh can become sick very quickly．They may even stop breathing．

　　The Blue Bottle

　　The Blue Bottle is found in most Australian waters．Blue Bottles float lightly on the surface of the water but their tentacles(触须)can be as long as 10 meters．

Blue Bottles are much less dangerous than some other jellyfish but they can give a swimmer a bad sting(刺)if the swimmer accidentally touches them．

　　Stingrays

　　There are many different kinds of stingrays in Australian waters．They usually swim and feed on bottom of the sea．Accidents can happen if people stand on them or try to pick them up．Stingrays have a sting on their tail．These stings have poison on them．If someone is stung, the wound can easily become infected．
