　　One day, Wilbur Smith was enjoying the jacket(书套)of his latest book on a flight to America when the middle-aged man in the next seat asked, “I see you read Wilbur Smith．What do you think of him?”

　　“I think he is clever and successful．” replied Wilbur．“Well, the guy is a friend of mine,” said his neighbour proudly．

　　“Oh, really?” said Wilbur．

　　“Not only that, but I’m the model for one of his heroes”

　　“Is that so?”

　　“Yeah．Would you like his signature(签名)?”

　　“Could you arrange that?” asked Wilbur．

　　“Sure．Give me your card．”

　　Wilbur handed over his business card, and the man carefully put it in his top pocket．Not surprisingly, Wilbur didn’t hear from his “friend” after that．
