A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape (逃脱) punishment(处罚).

　　The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923 . He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied (占居) several years before. The former President's wife was still living in the White House.

　　Coolidge awoke(醒来) to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.

　　Coolidge spoke: “I wish you wouldn't take that. ”

　　The thief, finding his voice, said: “Why?”

　　“ I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠) . Take it near the window and read what is impressed(印，刻) on its back, ” the President said.

　　The thief read, “ Presented to Calvin Coolidge. ” “ Are you President Coolidge?” he asked.

　　The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let's talk this over. ”

　　Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice:“I'll take this and leave everything else. ”

　　Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded(说服) the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.

　　Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan (借款) .

　　He then told the young man: “There is a guard in the corridor (走廊) . ” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.

    If you go into the forest with friends who are older than you are, stay with them. If you don't, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do.

　　Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends--let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.

　　There is another way you can help your friends or other people to find you. Give them a signal(信号) by shouting three times. Stop. Then shout three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.

　　Keep up the shouting, always three times together. Then the people who hear you will know than you are not just making noise for fun(开玩笑). They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts. When a signal is given twice it is an answer to a call for help.

　　If you don't think you will be found before nights comes, get some branches(树枝). Try to put them together so that they make a little house. Cover up the holes with branches that have lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.

　　What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You should leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don't just walk away. Make a trail(痕迹) for yourself so you find your way back. Do this by picking off small branches and dropping them as you walk.

　　The most important thing to do when you are lost is----STAY IN ONE PLACE.
