　　Hawaii

　　For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. The beaches there are the best in the world /and the waves are the highest. And the weather is neither too hot nor too cold all the year around. The water is very clear, too. It’s too wonderful for people to do water sports there, just like surfing, diving, water-skiing or swimming. Especially surfing there is so exciting that many surfers and travelers from all over the world are attracted every year.

　　People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of ocean. They also want to see sunset over the ocean. In the tropical lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drop so quickly that you can almost see it move. People often have a quiet, peaceful time here, perfect for a leisurely walk along the water.

　　The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now yet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.

　　Wherever people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii.

　　* Sally had been studying at an art college for a year and, like most students, she did not have much money. It was going to be her mother’s birthday soon, and she wondered what she could buy her as a present that would be nice and useful but not too expensive.

　　One day, a week from her mother’s birthday, she went shopping to try to find her mother a nice present. She came across a shop that was selling umbrellas cheap, and decided that one of those would solve her problem, since her mother had lost hers the month before. *

　　On the train back home that evening she felt hungry, she went to the buffet car for a sandwich. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment, but when she got back, it had gone! Sally burst into tears. The other three passengers felt sorry for her and asked what the matter was. When she had explained that her present for her mother had disappeared, the three passengers asked her for her mother’s address, in order to be able to send the umbrella on to her in case someone had removed it by mistake.

　　The next week, Sally got a letter from her mother, which said, “Thank you for your lovely presents, but why did you send me there black umbrellas?”
