A boy of twelve was standing by the sea, watching a big ship called Pearl. He enjoyed (watch) it coming and going. His father didn't want him to hang out at the port (港口) he thought it was not safe.
One day, the boy left home early, against his father's wishes, to see the ship. Everything was as usual first. Suddenly, the boy saw a small fire at one end of Pearl. In very short time, the fire grew bigger.
Seeing this, the boy shouted (make) someone notice. His shout was so loud that it woke up the workers nearby, who were enjoying a Sunday morning in bed. They worked together to put out the big fire.
Pearl was among the six (ship) at the port. And it was carrying oil (油), paint and paper from the Far East. The fire (burn) quite a lot of paper and that was why the fire spread (传播) (fast) on Pearl than on other ships. Thanks to the boy, the fire didn't reach the paint or the oil.
the boy hadn't come to the port, he wouldn't have noticed the fire. So this time, his father wasn't angry with (he).
