But as soon as the programme was over, the tel ephones whi ch were i n the sam e room started ringi ng. Everybody was asking when they coul d see Freddy and his band agai n. They were trul y stars. Then thi ngs went wrong. Fredy and hi s band coul d not go out anywhere wi thout bei ng fol lowed. Even when they wore sungl asses or beards peopl e recogni zed them. Fans found them even when they went i nto toil et. They tried to hi de in the readi ng room s of l i brari es, but it was usel ess. Som eone was al ways there! Their personal li fe was regul arl y di scussed by people who did not know them but tal ked as i f they cl ose friends. At l ast feel ing very upset and sensitive, Freddy and hi s band real ized that they must l eave the country before i t becam e to pai nful for them. So they l eft Britai n, to whi ch they were never to return, and went back to the l ake. 必修三 Unit 1 Festi vals and cel ebrati ons Festi vals and cel ebrati ons of al ki nds have been hel d everywhere since ancient tim es.
