Lesson 9
Tom's Projects

Topic 1 The First Project

Tom knew that the earth is round and that the river flows to the ocean. The waves of the sea are always moving and flowing somewhere. He thought to himself, "I can send a message to someone far away and get a letter from the one. Then I can make new friends abroad." He thought a lot about his secret project.
Tom wrote a message with his address and phone number. He put the message in a bottle. Then he threw the bottle into the river. It went out of sight.
Every day after that, Tom kept thinking about his bottle. He imagined getting a letter from some unknown person. He hoped he could visit his new friend in another country.
A Week later, Tom's friend, Jenny, called him with some news. She said, "I found your bottle near my house." His bottle didn't go around the world. It just stayed right there in the city! Tom was surprised and disappointed. He thought about the problem with his first project.

Topic 2 The Next Project

Tom told his father about the bottle.
"That's too bad," his father said. "It isn't necessary to keep it a secret."
"It must be a stupid idea," Tom said.
"No, it's not a stupid idea," his father said. "You just had bad luck. The problem is the curve in the river. Your bottle didn't have a chance because of that curve.
Tom still felt a little ashamed, but he felt much better than before.
"Tom," his father said, "I have to make a long trip in the truck this Saturday. I'm going to go over the big bridge down the river. You can send a new message. You can say something special about yourself. Maybe it will bring you luck."
"OK, I'll do it," Tom said. "Thank you so much, Dad."
