Lesson73 The record-holder
Children 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, traveled
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, traveled 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 children who dream of
evading school.
