（一） Go to Buy What You Want

Henry was a careless young man. He often made mistakes. It brought him a lot of trouble. For example， he fell over a chair in his girl friend's home once， and the chair hurt a little boy's dog， it made the boy cry for a long time. His girl friend was laughed at by her cousins after he had left. For it，she was angry with him.

Once the young man went back to his hometown for his holiday. At the station he got on a wrong train. When he found this， it had started. He had to get off at the next station. Of course he missed his train. At two in the morning he got to his hometown. It was difficult to find his house. He had to stand outside until the sun appeared. Now he found he was standing just in front of his house. He was cold and tired.

\"Go fishing with me， Henry，\" his grandpa said after he heard him. \"It'll help you to correct your shortcoming(改正缺點(diǎn)).\"

Henry thought it was right and went to the river with his grandpa. The old man taught him to fish first. And then he helped the young man to find a place. Henry did as his grandpa said.
