Dave is a bank clerk in London. He thinks his job is boring – but the salary is good. He lives in a small
village and goes to work by train and then the underground. It’s a long journey - he leaves home at half
past seven - and people ask him why he doesn’t move nearer to London, but Dave prefers to live in his
village.

He doesn’t like crowds, smog and traffic and he loves going for long bike rides or walks in the country
when the weather is fine. He also has a lot of friends in the village and he doesn’t want to lose them.

He arrives at the bank at nine and usually finishes at half past five. He gets home at about seven
o’clock. He has an hour for lunch, at one o’clock. When the weather is good, he often buys sandwiches
and eats them in the park near his bank. When it’s raining, or cold, he goes to a small café for lunch.
Dave’s girlfriend, Liz, is a student at Reading University and lives in a small flat near her university with
three other students. Dave and Liz met two years ago when they were both in Spain on holiday. Dave
would like to marry her when she finishes university next year, but Liz prefers to wait for two or three
years before getting married. They don’t meet during the week because Liz is busy with her studies,
but they usually spend the weekends together.

It’s half past eleven on a beautiful Saturday morning and Dave and Liz are in Dave’s car. They want to
go to the seaside for the day, but a lot of people seem to have the same idea, and traffic on the
motorway is very slow. It is also very hot!

Dave says, “This is a stupid way of spending Saturday! Why don’t we leave the motorway and have
lunch in a pub? We can go to the seaside another day.”

“Yes!” says Liz, “I’m hot, bored and hungry. Look, we can leave the motorway here.”

They leave the motorway and look for an interesting place to have lunch. They find an old pub by a
river and decide to eat outside. They can see the river from their table. Their lunch is very good and
not expensive. They decide that leaving the motorway and the traffic was a very good idea!

The pilot who was never paid

One of the most famous life-savers in history saved thousands of lives and many ships. This swimmer
and navigator first appeared at the end of the nineteenth century. For more than twenty years he
guided ships through dangerous waters. The incredible life-saver could not read or write, had no
training and worked for nothing. The sailors called him Jack, and he was a dolphin.
Near the coast of New zealand, there is a very dangerous passage through the d’urville Islands
called french pass. french pass had a bad reputation until Jack arrived. Then for over twenty years,
it was safe.

for all those years, twenty-four hours a day, Jack met passing ships. he swam along at the side of
the ship for miles, playing and jumping into the air, then diving under the ship and appearing on
the other side. But when the ship reached the entrance to french pass, Jack swam in front of the
ship and stayed there, indicating the only safe channel through the pass, until the ship was on the
other side.
In 1903, a passenger on board the Penguin drank too much and fired a gun at Jack. The sailors were
angry and wanted to throw him into the sea, but the captain stopped them. Jack wasn’t seen for two
weeks and everybody thought he was dead. Then, one morning, he appeared again. After he was shot
at by a passenger on the penguin, Jack never met that ship again – the only ship he refused to
accompany. with only a human pilot to guide it, the penguin hit some underwater rocks in the pass a
few years later and was lost. Jack probably died of old age in 1912, but he wasn’t forgotten. The story
of his life-saving ability is recorded on a statue erected to his memory on the beach of wellington.
