Lesson73 The record-holder
Little boys who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight
hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get.
They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1600 miles.
He hitch- hiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep.
When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled
to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitch-hiked to Paris in
a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside
the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped
it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman
and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the
thousands of boys who dream of evading school.
