This is the 9th part of the story that begins with episode 076: On the Train.

Welcome to Boxcar English, where there’s always room for you.

The last time we talked, I was in jail. I had somehow travelled ten years into the future, after having ridden a train for two days. I guess the train was magic or something. Anyway, I tried to get into my own house, and found it was another man’s house. So I got arrested and put in jail.

This is the fourth part of a story that began in episode 76!

(Even though I say it’s the continuation of “the last 2 episodes” in the episode – I should have said the last 3 episodes!)

If you haven’t listened to the last two episodes, well, I jumped on a train–a freight train– and started riding. A freight train is a kind of train that people are not allowed to ride. It’s illegal to do it. It’s very dangerous…

Do you know the phrase “To get by” ? It’s an important one, and has (at least) two different meanings. Listen to this episode to hear and understand both of them.

[beginning]
There are some mountains near where I live in Haytown, with lots of trails for walking and lots of streams full of rocks and fish and beautiful waterfalls. One day, not too long ago, I drove over to the mountains with my dog, Shelby, to go for a nice, long walk there…

Have you ever wished you had done something differently in your life? Have you ever looked back and said, “I should have done this and not that?” Have you ever just wondered what would have happened if you had made a different choice?

I didn’t feel like going to work today. That happens. I bet it happens to you. You just don’t feel like it sometimes. I woke up, and I was tired. I didn’t feel like going to work, I felt like going back to sleep. I didn’t feel like going to work, I felt like going for a walk with my dog. I didn’t feel like going to work, I felt like making some tea and watching a movie. But I knew there were a lot of people who were counting on me going to work.

You see advertisements (or “ads”) every day.

They say that seeing advertisements is not good for you. That’s probably true.

But I would like to make my own advertisements. My own KIND of advertisements…
