    Hundreds of years ago there lived a king in a small country. He liked swimming. When summer came, he always went to another palace by a forest with his soldiers and returned to the capital in autumn.

　　One afternoon the king went swimming in a river in the forest and he didn't tell anybody else about it. The water was cool and he enjoyed himself. After that he was going to return to the palace. Just then he heard there was a great noise and saw a large tiger not far from him. He ran away as fast as he could and the tiger didn't catch up with him. But he lost the way. He was hungry and tired when he found a house by the forest. He came in and found there was a farmer in it. “It's your king,” he said to the old man. “I'm hungry now. Bring me something to eat quickly.” The farmer had nothing delicious except four eggs. The king ate up them and felt better.

　　“How much must I pay for that?”“Eighteen dollars, Your Majesty(陛下).”“How expensive they are!” said the king. “Are eggs rare(稀有的) here?”“No, Your Majesty,” answered the farmer.“We have only a king in our country.”

Dick often goes traveling when the summer holiday begins. But he was out of luck this summer.
He went to an old temple(庙)on a high mountain by himself. On his way there it suddenly began to rain heavily and he hurried to go down the mountain. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he found the wooden bridge was under the water, so he had to spend the rainy night in a broken farmhouse. He was so hungry that he hardly fell asleep.
The next morning the rain stopped and he found the bridge was damaged. He saw the river was not too deep and tried to swim across it. In the middle of the river the water nearly washed him away. Luckily , two farmers saved him, but he lost his bag. They gave him some food and dry clothes. He thanked them and went to the nearest town to call up his parents.
At the end of the street, Dick found a small hotel and went in. He asked the price for a room.
“A room on the first floor is twenty dollars, on the second floor, fifteen dollars and on the third, ten dollars,” answered the owner.
The young man had only eight dollars in all his pockets. He said thanks and was leaving. The owner asked, “Don’t you like our hotel?”

Swimming is very popular. People like swimming in summer because water makes people feel cool. If you like swimming but swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, a lot of people die when they enjoy themselves in water, and most of them are students. Some people are not careful when they are swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing will happen to them in water. Summer is here again. If you go swimming, don’t forget that better swimmers have died in water. They die because they are not careful, not because they cannot swim. So don’t get into the water when you are alone. Don’t get into the water if there is a “ No swimming” sign. If you remember these, swimming will be safe.
