When Peter Fortune was ten years old grown—up people sometimes used to tell him he was a“difficult”child．He never understood what they meant．He didn’t feel difficult at all．He didn’t throw milk bottles at the garden wall，or tip tomato ketchup(番茄酱)over his head and pretend it was blood．or slash at his granny’s ankle with his sword，though he occasionally thought of these things．Apart from all vegetables except potatoes，and fish，eggs and cheese，there was nothing he would not eat．He wasn’t noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew．His name was easy to say and spell．His face，which was pale and freckled(有雀斑的)．was easy enough to remember．He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it．He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him·
Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him．Doctors in white coats never offered l to take him away to the madhouse．As far as Peter was concerned，he was really quite easy．What was difficult about him?
