Henry works in a factory. He comes from a poor family and was in school for only four years. He has
to do the hard work but he's paid less. He likes to watch football matches very much and spends much
time on it. One evening there was a big football match on a playground. He borrowed some money from
his friend and hurried there. There were a lot of people there. And all the tickets were sold out. He was
sorry for it. He saw a pole outside the playground and climbed up the pole quickly. A policeman came and
said, "It's dangerous to stay on it! Come down!" "Wait a minute, please!" Henry said and immediately the
policeman heard the cheers (欢呼) in the playground and asked in a hurry, "Which team has scored a goal
(进球)?" "Ours!" "Wonderful! You can stay there. But be careful!" the policeman said happily and left. A
few minutes before the match was over, he came back again and asked, "Who's won?" "Theirs, three to
two." "Come down," the policeman said angrily. "Such a match isn't worth watching!" Henry had to come
down. But soon they heard cheers again. The policeman said in a hurry, "Climb up quickly and see who's
scored a goal!"
