At the beginning of the First World War, John Robinson was a soldier in the army. He went to France with a lot of other soldiers, and lived in a cold, wet, muddy camp. The rain came into his tent, there was mud and water on the floor, and the food was not good. Then he became an officer and went to work in the army in Paris. He lived very pleasantly there in a warm house, had very good food, and enjoyed himself.
After some months, he met one of his old friends from the camp.
‘You made a big mistake when you left our camp,’ said this friend.
‘Oh?’ said John Robinson. ‘Why?’
‘Well,’ said the soldier, ‘the week after you left, they put wood floors in our tents!’
