读故事

　　Heading inland away from the island prison and to freedom the former prison inmate injected some more of the fuel into the intake container of the boat he had made from bamboo.His innovation had been to make the boat during his innumerable escape attempts before and hide it in an inlet near the section where insane prisoners were kept.

　　Now he was glad that he suffered from insomnia,because during the night,when all in the prison were sleeping,he discovered his innate ability to work with tools that would be instrumental in his escape.Those sleepless times became his periods of innovative activity.And the plan came to him instantaneously one night as he was making an inscription on his wall with a fork.His inspiration was the material that insulated his room.The insulation was there in front of him for all to see,and no one ever noticed it.That was how he hid his bamboo boat—in front of everyone in the busy inlet.

　　He initiated the plan the next day.After adding many small installments during countless short escapes that no one ever found out about,the boat was intact and ready to be used.Nothing inhibited his escape when the boat was finished.He only had to steal one motor and a liter of gas.Now he was free.And they would never catch him because he would continue to live by his inspiration—he would find a way to live in plain sight.

　　从岛上监狱逃向内陆和自由的时候，这位昔日的狱中囚徒在他的竹船的进油口注入了更多的燃料。他的创新是在以前那些数不清的逃跑期间制作这条小船并把它藏在一个水湾，水湾附近是一个关精神病犯人的地方。

　　现在他为自己患有失眠症而感到高兴，因为在整个监狱都在酣睡的夜晚，他发现他天生就有使用工具的能力，而这种能力对逃跑是有帮助的。那些不眠之夜成了他进行创新活动的时间。晚上，当他用叉子在他的墙上题字的时候，他立刻想到了这个计划。他的灵感来自房间的隔音材料。他面前的隔音材料大家都能看得见，但谁也没有注意到。他就是这样藏他的竹船的——在繁忙的水湾当着大家的面。

　　第二天他开始了这个计划。在无数次没有人发现的短时间的逃跑期间，他增加了许多小部件，之后小船就变得完整无缺、整装待发了。一旦小船做好，什么也阻止不了他的逃跑。他只需要偷一个马达和一升汽油。现在他自由了。他们永远也抓不到他，因为他会继续靠灵感生活下去——他会找到一种方法在显眼的地方生活。
