When Rosie, who was only eight anyway, beat him doing ten lengths of the pool, it was the last straw. He didn't show he cared. He made such a point of sauntering carelessly to the dressing-room that he skidded and went flat and everybody laughed. He forced himself to laugh as well, and only found the grazes on his elbows when he was towelling himself. “I got born in the wrong family,' he thought, as he trudged back home alone over the fields. The others were still in the water, getting their money's worth. ‘Ordinary Jack, that's me. It's what they should've christened me – Ordinary Jack Matthew Bagthorpe – with an e.' There were four Bagthorpe children, and the other three were always winning prizes and medals, and William, the eldest, had got to the point where he was winning cups, silver ones, for the sideboard, and little shields with his name engraved on them. ‘You're immortal if your name gets put on cups and shields, thought Jack moodily.

When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out. I said if he wanted to take a broad view of the thing, it really began with Andrew Jackson. If General Jackson hadn't run the Creeks up the creek, Simon Finch would never have paddled up the Alabama, and where would we be if he hadn't? We were far too old to settle an argument with a fist-fight, so we consulted Atticus. Our father said we were both right. Being Southerners, it was a source of shame to some members of the family that we had no recorded ancestors on either side of the Battle of Hastings. All we had was Simon Finch, a fur-trapping apothecary from Cornwall whose piety was exceeded only by his stinginess. In England, Simon was irritated by the persecution of those who called themselves Methodists at the hands of their more liberal brethren, and as Simon called himself a Methodist, he worked his way across the Atlantic to Philadelphia, thence to Jamaica, thence to Mobile, and up the Saint Stephens. Mindful of John Wesley's strictures on the use of many words in buying and selling, Simon made a pile practising medicine,

Summary Of The Book The Hobbit is a fantasy novel that begins with introducing the readers to Gandalf, who is successful in tricking Bilbo into having a party. This party is intended for Thorin, and his gang of dwarves. This merry group of beings then begins to sing of gaining victory over the famed Lonely Mountain, its treasure, which is currently in the control of a dragon named Smaug. As the music slowly starts to fade, we come to know of a mysterious map, possessed by Gandalf, which can help them gain access into the Lonely Mountain. Gandalf then suggests that Bilbo be made to carry out this expedition, and after a while Bilbo is persuaded to do so. What follows is their encounter with trolls who seek to devour them.

Once, the crocodile and the fox teamed up to farm together. What could they possibly farm, you ask? They decided to grow potatoes. As you know, potato is a root vegetable that grows under the ground. The part of the plant that grows above the ground is of no use. But the foolish crocodile did not have any knowledge of this fact. He thought that, indeed, potatoes grew on trees! And so, in order to outwit the fox, he said, "The top of the plants are all mine, and you can have the roots." Hearing this, the fox said laughing, "Sure. That sounds good to me."
