Lesson 91 Three men in a basket 三人同篮
A pliot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal
Air Force Station nearby.He informed the station at once,but no
one there was able to explain the mystery.The officer in the con-
trol tower was very angry when he heard the news,because bal-
loons can be a great danger to aircraft.He said that someone might
be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of
the strange object.The pilot managed to circle the balloon for some
time.He could make out three men in a basket under it and one of
them was holding a pair of binoculars.When the ballon was over the station,the pilot saw one of the men taking photographs.Soon afterwards,the ballon began to descend and it landed near an airfield.The police were called in,but they could not arrest anyone,for the basket contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station!As the Commanding Officer explained later,one half of the station did not know what the other half was doing!
Lesson 92 Asking for trouble 自找麻烦
It must have been about teo in the morning when I returned home.
I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell,but she was fast
asleep,so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden,put it against
the wall,and began climbing towards the bedroom window.I was
almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,"I don't think the
windows need cleaning at this time of the night."I looked down
and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.I immedi-
ately regretted answering in the way I did,but I said,"I enjoy clean-
ing windows at night."
"So do I,"answered the policeman in the same tone,"Excuse my interrupting you.I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working,but would you mind coming with me to the station?"
"Well,I 'd prefer to stay here,"I said ."You see ,I've forgotten my key."
"Your what?"he called.
"My key,"I shouted.
Fortunately,the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
