Dick was a sailor on a big ship. It went to Japan with its mild climate and to Australia where in summer it is sometimes impossible to breathe, it went to South America and to North America too. So Dick was often on the ship for several months at a time. When he woke up in the morning and looked out, he always saw only the sea which was either calm or rough, or sometimes he could see a port with a lot of houses and factories or other buildings.

When he was twenty-three, Dick got married and bought a small house with a garden in his wife’s town. It was far away from the sea. His wife was fond of gardening and had a lot of flowers in her garden — roses and lilies, daffodils and daisies, primroses and poppies. There was a big bush of honeysuckle in her garden too and a few fruit trees. But Dick seldom saw how beautiful the garden was because he had to be on board the ship most of the time.

So Dick went back to his ship in early spring, and he didn’t come home for two months. He went from the port to the town where his wife lived by bus. It took him about an hour to get home. He was very happy to see his wife again. She was so beautiful! She was dressed in her best clothes and looked so young! They had a walk in the garden and Dick’s wife showed him her new flowers: purple chrysanthemums which smelt so pleasant and sweet. All the fruit trees were in blossom. Dick liked all that very much. They talked in the sitting room till midnight and went to bed very late.

The next morning Dick slept till 9 o’clock. Then he woke up suddenly and looked out of the window. There were trees a few feet away. He was very frightened and jumped out of bed shouting, “We’ve hit land!”
