Underwater Test

Jimmy was a flash man in a submarine. It was down deep very much. Jimmy had aware a lot. Suddenly, there was a tension. Men stared at dials intently. Then the floor tilted slightly, and after a while the sub leveled off and rolled a bit, like a huge log going under water. Jimmy drew in a deep breath and filled his lungs. He thought this was not bad, not bad at all. And Larry nervously swung his gaze around. “ Hey, we will be dead. Something’s going wrong! Get the Commander! You, Jerry, get to the radio shack. See if the sending equipment’s ok.”
Jimmy’s heart seemed to become a solid sickening weight. We could think jimmy’s aware. It was a death warrant! Jimmy stood there, shocked. Now, the water was up to his knees, rising rapidly. They could not close the heavy door. Larry turned a strained face toward him. The freezing water was up to jimmy’s waist. He wanted to scream and run. Because there were only minutes between him and a horrible death. Then he gave up. Nobody would ever know him. He had rushed out of the compartment to save himself from the rising water. He left his friend in the underwater. He gave up himself.
Suddenly, Commander Philips said “ Up and out on deck, everybody.” “What a rotten trick!” shouted Jimmy. He did not believe this was a just test. This is an important how you’d act in a life-and –death emergency. He failed to the test. He had not chance forever. But he would return to school. He would get experience a lot here.

The Smell of Soup and the Sound of Money

A beggar was given a piece of bread, but nothing to put on it. Hoping to get something to go with his bread, he went to a nearby inn and asked for a handout. The innkeeper turned him away with nothing, but the beggar sneaked into the kitchen where he saw a large pot of soup cooking over the fire. He held his piece of bread over the steaming pot, hoping to thus capture a bit of flavor from the good-smelling vapor.

Suddenly the innkeeper seized him by the arm and accused him of stealing soup.

"I took no soup," said the beggar. "I was only smelling the vapor."

"Then you must pay for the smell," answered the innkeeper.

The poor beggar had no money, so the angry innkeeper dragged him before the qadi.

Now Nasreddin Hodja was at that time serving as qadi, and he heard the innkeeper's complaint and the beggar's explanation.

"So you demand payment for the smell of your soup?" summarized the Hodja after the hearing.

"Yes!" insisted the innkeeper.

"Then I myself will pay you," said the Hodja, "and I will pay for the smell of your soup with the sound of money."

Thus saying, the Hodja drew two coins from his pocket, rang them together loudly, put them back into his pocket, and sent the beggar and the innkeeper each on his own way.

The Getaway

It was midnight. There was even no people on the way. A man drove his car, and he was going along in western Texas. He was so tired. Suddenly, he saw a sign that said GAS EAT. So he pulled off. He expected was a place like a bunch of others, where coffee tastes like copper and the flies never sleep.

This was a perfect shop. Their tables were painted wood. And the counter was spick-and –span. The man smelt everything here. He sworn it. There was just one old boy in the shop. And he looked like about forty, got gray above the ears. The car man sat down at the counter and ordered coffee and apple pie.

The man felt so sad, because the old boy was the kind that they mean well. He was happy when he got his coffee and apple pie. The cream was fresh and cold and thick. The pie was good, too.

A car pulled up outside. A tall man and a short man came right in. They ordered two coffees and a road map. He got their coffee first, and then started rooting through a pile of papers by the telephone. For a while, the two men spread out the map and leaned over it. They liked a couple of feed merchants. They did not seem a suitable way. They wanted to across this side of El Paso. The old boy could help them. And he spent a lot of time going through the papers by the telephone again. He said a bridge there. He told them how to found it. They talked a long time. The two men wanted to leave when the tall man finished his coffee. He folded the map and put it in his pocket. The old boy seemed startled, he just shrugged and said,’’ Glad to let you have it.’’

Then the two men stopped in the middle of the flood, they turned around, reached inside their jackets, and pulled guns on the old boy and the car man. Suddenly, they heard the police voice. The police came here. What happened here? The police how to know bad men in the shop. The two men did not believe their eyes. They were caught by police. The car man though about the thing. Actually the old boy called phone the police. He cheated the two men get map by telephone. He was so clever. The old boy was a winner in the action.
