| It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and rehearsed (practiced) all the answers: "I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven"t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It"s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago." I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it. No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say "hello", but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused. My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn"t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens" birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: "Timbuktu", and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said:"Portsmouth", and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn"t make me very popular, of course. "He thinks he"s clever," I heard Brian say. After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian"s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper. "He"s big enough and useless enough," Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me. I suppose Mr. Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me. "Do you want to join my gang (team)?" he said. At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger. | ||||||||||||||

| I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham"s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can"t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I"ll never forget. I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn"t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in"seconds? (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply. When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn"t believe my eyes; this wasn"t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn"t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind. Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl (爬行) through people"s legs and get hold of things they couldn"t get near themselves. Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper (脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham"s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this. In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK. You won"t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale. | ||||||||||||||
