Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note 百万英镑晨读 · 记忆 Sailing Home This novel was about an unbelievable but genuine adventure
Its author was a black businessman who was brought up in America
In 1956, he visited Africa, his birthplace
One day, when he was wandering on the pavement near the bay enjoying the sea scenes, he lost his money and passport that he kept in an envelope
So he went to the embassy to seek help, but the ambassador with rude manners didn’t permit his staff to help though he bowed to him
Staring at his impatient face, he understood that it was the fault of his skin colour that accounted for their rejection
So he decided to take a chance to sail on a small boat home
He met a large amount of difficulty but was never stopped
On the contrary, difficulty pushed him to go ahead
