0ne day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the poo1．He was no bigger than 1 was，so I thought him a fair game．Coming secretly behind，I pushed him in，holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet．1 was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water， and being of great strength making its way by face strokes(猛力地划)to the shore．I fled，but didn’t succeed．He overtook me，pulled me hard，and threw me into the deepest part of the poo1．I soon climbed out on the other side，and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys．“Do you know what you have done? ” They said．“It’s Amery：heis in Grade Six．He is champion at gym．he has won his football award．”
1 was frightened and felt ashamed．How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small．He didn’t seem pleased at all．so I added in a most brilliant word．“My father．who is a great man．is also small．”At this be laughed，and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future，expressed all was over．The writer thought Amery “a fair game” because the boy________.
