One day two Americans, Mike and Dick, arrived in Australia. Early the next morning they hired (雇用) a car in Canberra(堪培拉--澳大利亚首都) and began their travel. Some time later the sun rose and began to shine in the sky and there were no houses beside the road. It was so hot that they could hardly go on driving. At that moment Mike found that there was a river half a kilometre ahead. They drove the car faster and got there soon. Before they jumped into the water, Dick saw a boy playing near the bank and asked, "Are there any sharks in the river, boy?"

"No, there aren't," answered the boy.

So they jumped into the river and began to swim. After a while, Mike felt something hit against his leg. He became afraid. So he stopped to ask the boy again.

"Yes, sir," said the boy. "But there are a lot of crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the river."
