Question

【題目】 Robert and Henry were going home from school, when they were at the corner of a street, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!” “No,” said Henry, “Let us go quietly home and not get in the middle of this fight. We have nothing to do with it, and we may get into trouble.” “ You are a coward (膽小鬼), and afraid to go.” said Robert, and he ran away.

Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon he went to school, as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal.

Henry had learned, however, that true courage is shown in something else, and he should be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.

After few days, Robert was bathing with some schoolmates in the river. All of a sudden, he fell down and couldn’t manage to stand up. He struggled, and cried for help, but all in vain.

The boys who had called Henry a coward, got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

Robert was fast sinking (下沉), when Henry threw off his clothes, and jumped into the water. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time.

By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the bank, and saved his life.

Robert and his schoolmates were sorry about having called Henry a coward. They knew he had more courage than any of them.
