When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this.

　　 I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more.

　 Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!

　 “Good heavens,” I said. “Will someone please tell me what is so funny?’

　 “Oh, God,” said the teacher. “You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt!”

Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.

　 As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at l5 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.

　 She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.

　 She says, “When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey. ”

　 Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn’t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. By the end of October last year, she had raised more than $50,000 for charity.

She says, “Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it’s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.”
