Another Reason

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp.It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White ,an officer of forty,was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

Once Mr.White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him.He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.But night fell and none came back to the camp.He was worried about it and stood at the gate.It was five to twelve when Mr.Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men.He started the car quickly and set off.At that moment the nine soldiers came back.It seemed they were all drunk.Of course they found the officer was angry.

“I’m sorry, sir” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time,But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast.Bad luck!It died and I had to run back.”

And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reason.It was the last soldier’s turn.He said, “I’m sorry,sir.I got on a bus on time,but…”

Having heard this,the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus,I’ll punish you at once!”

“No,no,sir,”said the young man. “My bus was all right,but the dead horses were in its way!”

“If you want to see a thing well,reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say.But touching things can help you to see them better.

Your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands,you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is.You can feel how heavy the glass is.

When you feel all these about the ball,you really see it.

With your skin,you can feel better.For example,your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket.You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand,too.

You can also feel sounds against your skin.Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music?They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!”means.They hear it often.Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up.In shops,we touch things we might buy,such as food,clothes and so on.To see something well,we have to touch it.

The bottoms of our feet can feel things,too.You know this when you walk on warm sand,cool grass or a bad floor.All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.

One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin.Feel the shoes on your feet,the clothes on your body,the air on your skin.At first,it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to them!

Most museums are just for looking.But today some museums have some thing to touch.Their signs say, “Do touch!There you can feel every thing on show.If you want to see better,reach out and touch.Then you’ll really see!”

68.By touching things______________.

A.you will have a strange feeling B.you will learn how to reach out
