L48-3: The silent village
Sitting down on a dilapidated wooden fence near the field, we opened a couple of tins of sardines and had a picnic lunch. All at once, I noticed that my wife seemed to be filled with alarm. Looking up I saw that we were surrounded by children in rags who were looking at us silently as we ate. We offered them food and spoke to them kindly, but they remained motionless. I concluded that they were simply shy of strangers. When we later walked down the main street of the village, we were followed by a silent procession of children. The village which had seemed deserted, immediately came to life. Faces appeared at windows. Men in shirt sleeves stood outside their houses and glared at us. Old women in black shawls peered at us from doorways. The most frightening thing of all was that not a sound could be heard. There was no doubt that we were unwelcome visitors. We needed no further warning. Turning back down the main street, we quickened our pace and made our way rapidly towards the stream where we hoped the boatman was waiting.

練習感悟:
現(xiàn)在夏天早起真的是愈發(fā)難了,春困已經(jīng)無法解釋我的慵懶。
可能是睡在空調(diào)房里太舒服。昨天第二節(jié)課下課去上學時走過中門,偶然看見陽光傾瀉、嫩綠葉子發(fā)光的攝魂美景,想起來有關幼兒園的感覺。就是一份情懷吧,突然真的是很懷念,很懷念。
