美风也喜欢砖头，我就不客气了哈。
Children who play truant form school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually（好像有点儿off） as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by（you had the here？）local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school!
