Hello, everyone. Today I’m going to tell you a story entitled “A Retired Captain”.

Capital Black became bored with is retired life. He wanted to develop some new interests in his late life. After breakfast one morning, he put on his old uniform and felt he was young again. He quickly packed his suitcase and kissed his wife goodbye. He left home in high spirits, as if he were ready to lead his crew across the sea. Soon, he started his new voyage, playing with an electronic boat by the riverside. Captain Black enjoyed playing no less than the children watching around him.

My story tells us that old people should try to make their life as colorful as possible so as to keep themselves healthy both mentally and physically.
