All of a sudden John kicked a high ball.Ted tried to catch it, but failed.So he ran after the ball, but unfortunatcly it fell into a hole.The four boys wanted to get it back. But the hole was too deep for them to reach the ball.They were very anxious, because the ball was borrowed from a friend.

　　夏天一个晴朗的早晨，四个男孩――约翰、汤姆、特德和彼得――在一块林地中踢球，突然间约翰踢了一个高球，特德想接住这个高球，但没接住。他追球，很倒霉，球掉进了洞里。4个孩子想把球弄出来，但洞太深他们够不着。他们很着急，因为球是从一个朋友那里借来的。
