One day a postman came to my village.
The postman brought me a letter from my son ,Saul.
"Is your name Adam?"the postman asked.
"Yes",I said.
"I've got a letter for you."
The postman read the envelope:"Adam of the village of Minta."
"A letter for me.Who is it from?"I asked.
The postman looked at the envelope again."From Saul"he said.
He gave me the letter and walked away.
"Come here.We have a letter from our son,Saul."
Martha came out and looked at the letter.
She was excited but she was also worried.
"A letter from Saul,"she said ."Is he alive and well?I'm going to find the school teacher.He can read the letter."
There was no school fifty years ago.
So I cannot read or write.
I live in a small village.
The only son,Saul,left the village two years ago and my three daughters are married.Saul is making a lot of money in a foreign country.
一天邮递员来到了我们的村庄。
邮递员带给我一份来自我儿子SAUL的信。
“你是不是叫艾达?”邮递员问。
“是的。”我回答。
“我有一份给你的信。”
邮递员读着信封:“明塔村的艾达。”
“有一封信给我。谁写的?”我问。
邮递员又看了看信封,“保罗写的。”他回答。
他把信给我就走了。
“玛莎,玛莎,”我对着我的妻子喊到。
“来这里,我们的儿子给我们写信了,是保罗。”
玛莎从外面走进来看信 。
她很兴奋但是也有点担心。
“保罗写的信,”她说。“他过的好吗?我打算去学校找一下老师,他可以读信。”
那里在五十年前就没有学校了。
所以我不能够读信或者写信。
我住在一个小村庄。只是一个农民。我仅有的儿子保罗,两年前离开了村庄,我的三个女儿也结婚了。
保罗在国外挣了很多钱。
这周星期二,虽然我知道要做什么,但是还是不能很好的完成,因为又开始看那些没有营养的消遣小说了,虽然知道是消遣但是还是控制不住自己的注意力,索性英语阅读报持的还好。在做一件事的时候总是不能控制住自己,知道修炼是很难的一件事,所以慢慢来。
