After class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The 44of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, but there were so many other kids 46I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous.

desk. 47 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I just wanted to see his49 . Maybe he would stop 50 such a show-off.

One day, when I was wandering around the garden behind the house, I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned(被遗弃的). As I walked towards it, I heard a noise, like an animal moving hurriedly away. Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door. I was greatly surprised.
―Please don’t tell them you saw me,‖ he said. ―They never use this place, and I have nowhere else to live.‖
―Don’t worry,‖ I said. ―I won’t tell anyone. But are you all right out here? I mean—do you have enough to eat?‖ The old man shook his head.
The same evening, I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and, while no one was looking, emptied some of the food into it. Later, I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man, whose name I had discovered was Taff.
