　　When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子军)，so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able

　　to explain.

　　We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river had a

　　swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded(环绕)by cliffs (悬崖).If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.

　　Several days later, the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early.

　　We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards

　　the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking

　　very stupid, no one said anything.

　　We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so

　　that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the

　　river— we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man

　　who had walked past us. We aGREed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be

　　doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.

　　An hour passed. then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in

　　the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everythin

　　was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.

　　When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had

　　happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go

　　and look again. We did, but there was no one there.

　　Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not

　　know.

　　counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.

　　remembered his name and said,Mr Castle, how are you?We talked about this and that. As he left, he said,I t was nice talking to you, Brett.I felt GREat, he

　　remembered me. then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had putIrvingdown on my name plate. If
