When Paolo was ten years old, he had a very exciting experience. It was a real adventure.

He and his father got up early to go fishing. They got in the boat and his father started rowing out to sea. The sun was rising as they pulled away from the shore. They stopped the boat in an area about twelve miles away where the fishing was very good. Then Paolo helped his father with the big net. As they threw the net into the water, it caught Paolo’s foot, and he was pulled into the water. “Help!” he cried. “I’m caught in the net!” his father was afraid that if he jumped in to save his son, he would get caught in the net himself, and they would both drown (淹死). It was too big a risk (冒险) to take. He quickly saw what he must do. He grasped (抓住) the sides of the net and pulled Paolo out of the water like a big fish.

Ding-Dong！

“Jason, honey? Can you answer the door?”

“I am busy, mom！” Jason shouted back at his mother. He had spent three hours so far working to this point in the game. He couldn’t stop now.

Ding-Dong！Mom′s footsteps approached the front door.

“Jason, it’s your friend Todd.” Mom called from the doorway.

Todd, his best friend, stepped into the room. “ Jason！I need a partner for playing basketball. ”He sounded excited.

Jason snorted. “No way, Todd. I′m playing a game here.”

Jason gave his friend a dirty look, and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked away, “ I almost died because of you！”

Todd looked at Jason′s mother. Jason’s mother looked back at him. They both looked at Jason. “Why don′t you play basketball with your friend?” Jason’s mother suggested.

“Tomorrow, maybe…” There were more levels to beat tomorrow, though, Maybe he had played tomorrow. He’d have to see what mood he was in. He thought he heard footsteps walking away, but he was too busy beating the next level to care.

An hour later, Jason’s father came home. It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down. Jason didn′t even hear his name being called to the table. He didn′t hear his father walk at behind him and ask him to turn the game off, either.

When the screen suddenly went black and his father’s angry face loomed in front of him, Jason finally heard. “No more game for a month.” Jason′s father shouted at him. “You don’t play basketball, you don′t come to dinner, and you don′t do your chores. We′ll make you do something else before you play any more.”

Jason nodded slowly. He knew better than to argue with his father, and when he thought about it, he had been playing quite a bit. It was fun, but he was letting down his friends, his family, and himself by paying too much.

He′d try harder in the future.
