 Short Passage
                          You are Wanted
     A Chinese student went to study in England. His surname was Sun. It is
spelled S- U- N, just like the sun in the sky.
     The weather in England is often cloudy and misty, and it rains now and
then, so the people don’t get much sunshine in the year.
     When the student arrived at the London Airport, a tall English policeman
with a long face opened his passport to check the visa. The policeman was in-
terested to find the Chinese name "Sun" in the passport. He thought it was pro-
nounced just like the English word "sun". So he said to the student..
     "I see your name is Sun. You are wanted here."
     The Chinese student was greatly surprised, because if you are wanted by
the police, you must have broken the law. So he asked the policeman:
     "Is there anything wrong with my passport or the visa? Do I have to go back?"
     "Go back?" shouted the policeman. "Now that you are here, we’ll never
let you go away."
     The young man was even more surprised. He thought he was going to be arres-
ted. But he didn't know what crime he had committed. He asked again:
     "What's happened? What have I done?"
     It was only then that the policeman began to smile. He said:
     "You don’t know what you've done, Mr. Sun? You've brought sunshine
to England. So we don't want you to go away."
