Jim found a job in a shop two years ago. Mrs.White, the shopkeeper trusts the able young man and
pays him more. He's happy and works harder.
Once Jim knew a beautiful girl called Mable at a friend's party. They danced for several times and the
girl was deeply in love. But Mabel's parents didn't agree to marry their daughter to a poor young man.
So they began to travel in America and didn't let the girl come back to London. She wrote a letter to Jim
and told him about it.Of course the young man hadn't enough money to go to see her.He was so sad that
he began to drink.
It was Saturday one day.Jim didn't go to work.He came to a bar and sat down to drink.Just then an
old friend of his came in.He asked him to drink with him.Crying, he told Mike all and the young man felt
sorry for him.After a while they were both drunk and left.
Mike wanted to take his friend home.When they passed a zoo, they went in and walked to a cage in
which there were two tigers.Having seen them,a tiger roared (吼). Mike was afraid and said, "Let's go.

"I don't think so," said Jim."I'm watching TV now".
