　It was Jimmy’s birthday, and he was five years old. He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family, and one of them was a beautiful drum.

　“Who gave him that thing?” Jimmy' s father said when he saw it.“His grandfather did ,”answered Jimmy's mother.

　“Oh,” said his father. Of course Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise (可怕的噪音) with it ,but his father didn't mind. His father was working during the day and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he didn't hear the noise.

　But one of the neighbours didn' t like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy' s house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him, “Hello, Jimmy, do you know, there is something very nice inside your drum? Here is a knife. Open the drum and let' s find it . ”

Martin had just finished high school. He would go to college at the far end of the city. He didn’t want to live there, and he didn’t want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car.

His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver’s license just before his eighteenth birthday.

The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a test drive on the open ground, and called out, “This is what I want, Dad!” When everything was done, they were ready to leave.

Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, “It’s my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!”

His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front.

So he said, smiling, “I’m sure you’re back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive.”

“No,” Dad replied, “Do you remember what you did to me all those years when I took you to and from school? I am sitting here to hit and kick the back of your seat all the way!”

D．Martin was able to learn how to drive very quickly.
