On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure and practiced casting.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.

Can I see my baby? the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred.

并不是我一提笔就离不开志摩，就是手里的笔也不等我想就先抢着往下溜了；尤其是在这秋夜！窗外秋风卷着落叶，沙沙的幽声打入我的耳朵，更使我忘不了月夜的回忆，眼前的寂寥。本来是他带我认识了笔的神秘，使我感觉到这一支笔的确是人的一个惟一的良伴：它可以发泄你满腹的忧怨，又可以将不能说的不能告人的话诉给纸笔，吐一口胸中的积闷。所以古人常说不穷做不出好诗，不怨写不出好文。的确，回味这两句话，不知有多少深意。
“八·一三战事”爆发的一礼拜后，我接到我的弟弟从广州中央军校的来信，里面提到吴履逊因为老婆是日本人的关系，把军队里的职务丢了，而且和他的季子夫人离了婚。这个消息使我吃惊不小，——这是怎么一回事呢？假如说，吴履逊突然为了什么事给人枪毙了，这倒干脆得多，吴履逊是一个壮健，有毅力的男子，他耐得苦，当得起大事，能够打破一切的困难，我曾经为他这独特人品立下了一个确定的公式：广东人＋男子汉＋军人＝吴履逊
蒋老大的家里住了一个新四军的工作人员，村子里的人起初叫他“叶先生”，慢慢叫“叶同志”，后来“先生”“同志”都去掉，只叫“老叶”了。因为他们一天天和老叶熟起来，亲热起来。老叶每天很忙，吃过早饭就出去，很少在家里。他是一个外地人，但这里周围几十里的村子他都很熟，有时人家谈论某处发生了什么事，他要问：“是那一乡？那一村子？那一保？……”最后他叫：“哦，我知道了！这人是一个替别人家挖河泥的，是哪个瞎子的小兄弟”！“一点也不错。怎么你会知道呢？”听的人都很惊讶。
李安邦是从直溪桥敌人据点光荣反正过来的民族勇士，是谁都知道的了。李安邦所领导的这个反正过来的部队，现在已成为了抗战中的一个小小的很精彩的部队，在袭击敌人的行动上，表现了他们惊人的勇猛。下面就是他们袭击直溪桥日本兵的故事。五月三十日上午，大约十点钟左右，直溪桥那狭窄的街上，照例很热闹，日本人在新河进行了新的烧杀，又彻底毁灭了延陵，要使中国老百姓离开中国军队势力范围内的市镇，这样来繁荣直溪桥，到处是花格子布，东洋式的商号旗子在屋顶上飘扬，直溪桥快要变成日本市镇了。只可惜中国人还没有驯服。日本皇军洋洋得意的气概，如果稍一疏忽遭受了中国军队的袭击，就要变得很狼狈，像蚂蚁一样的死于尘埃。
