The record-hol

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, whil

e

playing truant, travelled 1600 mil

es. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening,

went into a boat to find somewhere to sl

eep. When he woke up next morning, he

discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travell

ed to Calais. No one noticed

the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a l

orry. The driver

gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and l

eft him just outsid

e 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 bord

er. There he was picked up by

a policeman and sent back to England by the l

ocal authorities. He has surely set

up a record for the thousands of boys who dream of evading school.

逃学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。他们通常能够做到的，至多也就是安静地钓上

一天鱼，< /p>

或在电影院里坐上

8

个小时，

而有那么一个小

男孩，他

在逃学期间旅行了

1,600

英里，从而使上述所有逃学的孩子们都相形

见绌了。他搭便车到了多佛 ，天快黑时钻进了一条船，想找个地方睡觉。第二天

早上他醒来

时，发现船在这段时间已经到了加。当男孩从船里爬出来时，谁也

没有发现他。从那里他又搭上卡车到了巴黎。司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡，

就把他 丢在了城

外。男孩截住的下一辆车，没有像他希望的那样把他 带到巴黎

市中心，

而是把他带到了法国和西班牙边界上的佩皮尼 昂。

他在那儿被一个警察

抓住了，之后被当局送

回了英国。他无疑为成千上万梦想逃避上学的孩子们创

造了一项纪录。
