Mrs Baker lived in a small town. Her husband worked in a factory several years ago. He was able to do
everything. But the boss (老板) was bad to the workers and he was paid (付给) little. Sometimes his family
were hungry. He had to leave there and went to Sydney. The factory needed the workers like him and he
easily found work there. He worked hard and made much money. He went to England for his holiday once
a year. He missed (思念) his wife and children very much. One day he called Mrs Baker. On the telephone
he asked her to go to travel in Australia. Of course they were all happy.
It's very far from England to Sydney. Mrs Baker and her children had to take a plane. They left their
country for the first time and they were travelling in a plane for the first time, too. They were all excited
(激动的). The two children did not feel tired though they couldn't fall asleep the night before. Their mother
stopped them, but they didn't listen to her. One of them nearly hit an air hostess (空中小姐) with some plates
in her hands. Mrs Baker became a bit unhappy and said, "Don't run wild (胡闹) here! Go and play outside!"
