Automobilesrailroadstrucks and pipelines are the principal means of land transportation 2 Without our principal means of air transportation—the airplanewe would have to slow down our lives and commerce

Subways are mostly found in large citiesThe subway is an underground system of high speed trainswhich move more quickly and efficiently than busesAnd they will deliver you to within walking distance of almost any place in the city 4
Cabs are more expensive than buses or subwaysbut they will deliver you to the exact location you want in the shortest time possible 5 And as an added attractionmany cab drivers will tell you stories about their adventures or even the details of their life stories

You are a coward and afraid to go said Robertand off ha ran Henry want straight home and in the afternoon went to school as usual
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward and they laughed at him a great deal From then on they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong Thus he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well However Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore Instead he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward Every day after schoolthey didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun
A few days later Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river and got out of his depth He struggled and screamed for help but all in vain The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could but they did not even try to help him
