    My name is Toby. I"m eighty-three years old now. I once knew the greatest man in England. William
Shakespeare was his name. I first met William near a big field of apple trees in the town named Stratford
in October, 1579. He told me he was 15 years old. He was two years older than me. He had a sister,
Joan, and two younger brothers, Gilbert and Richard. And the next year he had another brother, Edmund. After William"s parents died, he and his sister lived with his mother"s brother. I became his friend from that day until he died. We met nearly every day. We were friends for thirty years.
    I once worked with him in the theatre, through the good times and the bad times. William was good at
acting. He could make all kinds of people pleased. By 1592, he became very famous. He was always busy day and night. I don"t know when he slept. He not only acted in plays, but also wrote his own plays. In his whole life, William wrote 37 plays in all. He was the best playwright in England.
    He wrote a play about love in 1595. It was Romeo and Juliet. He once used my name, Toby, in his
play-Twelfth Night. In this play, Sir Toby Belch was a big fat man, who liked drinking too much and
having a good time. Queen Elizabeth the First watched this play on the 6th of January, 1601. She liked
it.
    William Shakespeare is dead now, of course. He has been dead for more than thirty years. There"s no
singing, no dancing, no plays. It isn"t like that in my young days. But I can still think-and remember when
William and I were young, we had a good time in London, William and I…
