書(shū)蟲(chóng)3級(jí) 小鎮(zhèn)傳奇

鄧瑞·梅欽是個(gè)樂(lè)天派。當(dāng)他遇到麻煩時(shí)，決不會(huì)認(rèn)輸言敗，哭天抹淚。他會(huì)主動(dòng)去尋找機(jī)會(huì)，一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)機(jī)會(huì)，便會(huì)牢牢把握。當(dāng)然，幸運(yùn)之神也很眷顧著他。幸運(yùn)的是伯爵夫人打算辦場(chǎng)舞會(huì)，可鄧瑞是如何弄到請(qǐng)柬的呢?幸運(yùn)的是科多林夫人跟鄧瑞的老板起了爭(zhēng)執(zhí)，可鄧瑞是如何成為科多林太太的收租人的呢?更幸運(yùn)的是“亞爾馬號(hào)”在蘭迪德諾附近海域沉沒(méi)——可鄧瑞是如何從這件事上賺得1000英鎊的?

鄧瑞生活的小鎮(zhèn)叫伯斯利。鎮(zhèn)上的人們喜歡能讓他們歡笑的年輕人。“他真是個(gè)傳奇。”他們說(shuō)。他們迫不及待地想知道他下一次的奇遇……

If you want to be successful in life, what do you need? Do you need to be clever, good-looking, kind, hard-working, honest? Or just lucky?

Denry Machin is a cheerful kind of fellow. When he meets a problem, he doesn't lie down and cry about it. He looks for a chance, and when he sees one, he takes it with both hands. He has a lot of luck too, of course. It's lucky that the Countess decides to give a ball, but how does Denry manage to get an invitation? It's lucky that Mrs Codleyn has an argument with Denry's employer, but how does Denry become Mrs Codleyn's rent collector? And it's very lucky indeed for Denry when the Hjalmar goes down in the sea off Llandudno – but how does Denry make a thousand pounds out of it?

The people of Bursley, the town where Denry lives, love a young man who makes them laugh. 'He's a real card,' they say. They can't wait to hear about his next adventure...
