A

“ Troublemaker   ” was what was given to my friend Peter by his teachers    ．They also said that he

had no    future and no hope!    But now I suggest that anyone who said that should say    “ sorry  ”

to him   ．

Peter   finished    Grade Nine ， and then   he went  to   study    at  a technical    college   ． He became a  leader

of a    group of bad boys    ． After graduation he had nothing to d0    ， SO he just hung around by the

market with his    friends    ．

It    looked   like    nothing    could    change his   life    ．It    was not   until    the   day  that    his   father    died ． He

left the    boys and went to help his mother who sold food by the roadside    ．

He  really    pitied    his   mumand wanted  to  do  something   to   support    her ． He loved   reading    cartoon(    漫

畫)books and had been collecting them for years    ， SO he decided that he should sell them    ． Soon

he  realized    that    his    books  were  very   popular   ． So he made up  his   mind  to   set   up  his    own business  ． He went around buying  cartoon books from other people    ． He bought them for 25    ％ and then sold them

for half price    ．

These   days ， he  doesn’t   have  to   go  around   looking    for    cartoon    books  because  there    are   always

people coming to his shop to sell their old ones    ． He now has a monthly income of about 55    ， 000

baht(  泰銖 ) ．

He was a  “ troublemaker    ” to his teachers but he is a hero to me    ． If you are judged by your

teachers    as a“ bad student   ”．I  suggest   you ignore    what  they   say ．Just   do your   best   in   everything    ．Don’

t give up so eas-ily    ，  Believe me    ， one day you could be successful,too.

38． How does Peter get second    ． hand cartoon books now?

A.He buys them from bookstores    ．        B． He goes around collecting them    ．
