Question

【题目】 When I was a kid, I always wanted to go camping. I was thirteen when my brother Jackie, who was twenty, finally agreed to take me on a camping trip. We decided to take a coach to the nearby town. Once we got there, we’d find a place to set up our tent and spend the night. It seemed simple!

As soon as my parents drove us to the coach station on Saturday morning, Jackie and I got on the coach happily. However, halfway to the town, my head began to ache. And it just got worse and worse. Finally, I couldn’t stand it any longer. Jackie had no choice but to get off the coach with me. He was quite disappointed.

There we were, in the middle of nowhere. We didn’t have a phone with us and neither of us knew how to get home, so we just walked. About half an hour later, we came to a small town. Luckily, there was a train station. We bought two train tickets and came to the waiting room. After the inspector(查票员) checked our tickets, I saw somebody. I said to my brother excitedly, “Jackie, look! Is that our favorite writer? The man in a blue shirt and black jeans?”

Jackie looked back and said in excitement, “Oh, yes, Tony!” Then he added, “But I don’t think we can go back to the waiting room now!”

“That's okay! At least we’ve ‘met’ him,” I said. “Now, I guess the headache isn’t that upsetting!”
