Young Jack moved to a new house. When entering his new bedroom, he saw that it was full of toys but it was tidy. That day he played all he liked, but went to bed without tidying up.
The next morning, when Jack got up, he found all the toys had been put back in their proper places. He was sure that no one had entered his bedroom, but the boy didn’t pay much attention to it. The exact same thing happened that day, and the next day. But on the fourth day when he went to get his favourite toy, the toy jumped out of his hands and said, “I don’t want to play with you!”
Jack felt surprised, but the same happened with every toy he touched. Finally, one toy said to him:
“We don’t want to play with you. You always leave us so far away from our proper places. You don’t know how arduous it is for us to climb back up onto the shelves, or jump into the box. We feel most uncomfortable and unhappy. You don’t know how uncomfortable and cold the floor is! We don’t play with you any more if you don’t promise to leave us in our proper places before you go to bed.”
Jack remembered how comfortable he felt in his bed and how bad he felt when he had once slept in a chair. He realized how badly he had treated his friends, the toys. He asked for their forgiveness(原谅)， and from that day on he always put his toys nicely in their proper places before he got into bed.

　　Rex White knows too many seamen's stories to want to add to them. Besides, this happened on land. It happened in Lytham, a town on the River Ribble, near the place where the river flows into the Irish Sea. The shape of the trees along the Lytham beach road is proof(证明)of the great strength of the wind which comes in off the sea. It blows hard across the grass, the car parks and the open road beside the river, and there's nothing to stop it.

　　Rex was a ship's pilot. It was his job to guide ships up the river, between banks of sand, into the port of Preston. Mr White lived in a village some kilometres from the coast, so he had to drive to Lytham and leave his car in one of the car parks beside the river. Then he rowed (划船) out to the pilot boat , and waited for the particular ship that it was his duty to guide.

　　Early one morning, Mr White returned to Lytham from a night on duty, to find that he could not start his car. He had driven from his village the evening before and had left his car in the car park as usual. He had rowed out to the pilot boat and gone on board the S. S. Kilkenny, which was on her way from Ireland. Then, in the early hours of the following morning, he had returned to Lytham in the pilot boat, expecting to drive home to have a cup of hot chocolate and a warm bed. But whatever he did, he could not get the engine to start.

　　It was a cold and windy night; there was no one about, and there was no garage open to which he could turn for help. He was just about to give up and spend the rest of the night on the back seat of the car when he had a bright idea. He pushed the car round so that it was facing in the direction of the wind, opened all four doors, pushed it along a short way, and then jumped in. The doors acted like sails(帆), and in no time the wind had taken him right out of the car park, and away down the beach road. When he tried the starter switch (开关) once more, the engine roared (咆哮) to life immediately. All he had to do then was to stop the car and shut the doors.

　　He went to bed later than usual, but he didn't go without his cup of hot chocolate. Mr White was not a seaman for nothing.
