However, I wanted to be a sailor and go to sea. My father was very angry with me. He didn’t understand why I wanted to leave his house, where I would have an easy and comfortable life.
“Two kinds of people go to sea,” he said. “They are the very poor people and the very rich people. The poor are foolish, having no other way to live. The rich own ships and can make money with them. You are neither too poor nor too rich. You are in the middle, so you should choose a middle way for your life. Stay at home with your mother and me. Your elder brother didn’t listen to me, and now he is dead. If you do not listen to me, you will have a difficult life!”
I tried to do what he wanted me to do, but I couldn’t. I spoke to my mother.
“Please ask Dad if he will let me have one voyage(航海)by sea,” I asked her. “When I return, I will live the life he wants me to live.”
Mum was angry. “Your father will not let you go. I don’t want you to go to sea either. It’s dangerous.”
I argued with my parents for another year. Then, I went to Hull with a friend who was going to London by ship. He invited me to go with him, and I agreed. I did not even tell my parents before leaving. I just went. That was how all my bad luck began.

【推荐2】Once upon a time, there was a captain (船长) who loved money so much that he cheated (欺骗) his sailors at the end of every voyage (航行) and took their wages (工钱).
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.”
The sailors had heard about the captain’s cheating, so they didn’t believe him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.
“You are cheating,” the captain said to the sailor. “The fire’s warming you.”
“But it’s half a mile away!” said the sailor.
“A fire’s fire,” answered the captain. “I win.”
The sailor came out of the water, and said, “Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can’t cook a chicken.”
“I can,” answered the captain.
“If you cook this chicken,” said the sailor, “I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can’t, you will give me your ship.”
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, “Where’s the fire?”
“There it is,” answered the sailor. “On the shore.”
“But it’s half a mile away,” said the captain angrily.
“‘A fire’s fire,’ you said,” answered the sailor. “If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”

【推荐3】Some children were working in a wheat (小麦) field. Some worked hard and some didn’t. But one small boy just ran here and there after the butterflies (蝴蝶) and sang happily.

During the long cold winter, we like to eat some food that may make us fat. This is sometimes because it helps us keep warm and gives us energy, but often it’s because we need something to cheer us up. And that’s why we call it “comfort food”.
This kind of food that makes us feel good is different from person to person. It depends on your palate(味觉) and the connection you have with certain tastes and smells. The most popular comfort food is probably the biscuit. It’s thought that the sugary snack often brings back happy memories of childhood and family.
Moving on from sweet and sugary snacks, famous cook and food writer Mary Berry thinks it becomes natural to think about comfort food as soon as the weather gets colder and the nights become darker. And she suggests soup and warming foods as feel-good winter treats.
For comforting dishes like noodles or pizza, many people like them also because they don’t require cooking skills in the kitchen. They are easy to make so we can get them quickly. However, we often eat too much. Even though we know they’re high in sugar or salt, we continue to pig out(大吃大喝). “By making us eat that food, our minds find a way to get a really good feeling. However, we often feel guilty(内疚的) because we don’t realize that.” said Psychologist Shira Gabriel.
Maybe we should take comfort from the fact that eating certain food just makes us feel happy. But, for some people, eating any kind of food brings joy, warmth, happiness and comfort.
