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.

练习感悟：

现在夏天早起真的是愈发难了，春困已经无法解释我的慵懒。

可能是睡在空调房里太舒服。昨天第二节课下课去上学时走过中门，偶然看见阳光倾泻、嫩绿叶子发光的摄魂美景，想起来有关幼儿园的感觉。就是一份情怀吧，突然真的是很怀念，很怀念。
