     Two weeks after the Second World War(战争) began, Peter wanted to join the army(军队), but he was only 16 years old, and boys were allowed to join only if they were over 18. So when the army doctor examined him, he said that he was 18. But Peter's brother Bill had joined the army a few days before, and the same doctor had examined him, too. This doctor remembered Bill's family name, so when he saw Peter's papers, he was surprised.

     "How old are you?" he said.

     "Eighteen, Sir. "Said Peter.
