A Soldier's Brilliant Idea
兵的高招

Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air.

He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat.

He found all of them had already had been taken except for one.

There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one,
在那空座位邊坐著一名士兵。

and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window;
令羅賓遜先生納悶的是，這位士兵沒有坐靠窗的位置。

but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.
羅賓遜先生不管那些，他馬上徑直朝那個空座位走去。

When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it.
然而，等到了那兒，他看見座位上有則啟事，

It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you."

Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before,
羅賓遜先生還從來沒有在飛機上見過如此不同尋常的啟事。

but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it,
不過，他想飛機上一定裝了什么特別重的物品，

so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.
于是他找了個不靠窗的位置。

Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier,
又有兩三個乘客試圖坐在那個士兵旁的靠窗座位上，

but they too read the notice and went on,
他們看到那則啟事就走開了。

when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl hurried into the plane.

The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself
