L48-3:
The silent village
/ðə/ /ˈsaɪlənt/ /ˈvɪlɪʤ/
Sitting down on a dilapidated wooden fence near the field,
/ˈsɪtɪŋ/ /daʊn/ /ɒn/ /ə/ /dɪˈlæpɪdeɪtɪd/ /ˈwʊdn/ /fɛns/ /nɪə/ /ðə/ /fiːld,/
we opened a couple of tins of sardines and had a picnic
/wiː/ /ˈəʊpənd/ /ə/ /ˈkʌpl/ /ɒv/ /tɪnz/ /ɒv/ /sɑːˈdiːnz/ /ænd/ /hæd/ /ə/ /ˈpɪknɪk/
lunch. All at once, I noticed that my wife seemed to be filled
/lʌnʧ./ /ɔːl/ /æt/ /wʌns,/ /aɪ/ /ˈnəʊtɪst/ /ðæt/ /maɪ/ /waɪf/ /siːmd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /fɪld/
with alarm. Looking up I saw that we were surrounded by
/wɪð/ /əˈlɑːm./ /ˈlʊkɪŋ/ /ʌp/ /aɪ/ /sɔː/ /ðæt/ /wiː/ /wɜː/ /səˈraʊndɪd/ /baɪ/
children in rags who were looking at us silently as we ate. We
/ˈʧɪldrən/ /ɪn/ /rægz/ /huː/ /wɜː/ /ˈlʊkɪŋ/ /æt/ /ʌs/ /ˈsaɪləntli/ /æz/ /wiː/ /ɛt./ /wiː/
offered them food and spoke to them kindly, but they
/ˈɒfəd/ /ðɛm/ /fuːd/ /ænd/ /spəʊk/ /tuː/ /ðɛm/ /ˈkaɪndli,/ /bʌt/ /ðeɪ/
remained motionless. I concluded that they were simply shy
/rɪˈmeɪnd/ /ˈməʊʃənlɪs./ /aɪ/ /kənˈkluːdɪd/ /ðæt/ /ðeɪ/ /wɜː/ /ˈsɪmpli/ /ʃaɪ/
of strangers. When we later walked down the main street of
/ɒv/ /ˈstreɪnʤəz./ /wɛn/ /wiː/ /ˈleɪtə/ /wɔːkt/ /daʊn/ /ðə/ /meɪn/ /striːt/ /ɒv/
the village, we were followed by a silent procession of
/ðə/ /ˈvɪlɪʤ,/ /wiː/ /wɜː/ /ˈfɒləʊd/ /baɪ/ /ə/ /ˈsaɪlənt/ /prəˈsɛʃən/ /ɒv/
children. The village which had seemed deserted,
/ˈʧɪldrən./ /ðə/ /ˈvɪlɪʤ/ /wɪʧ/ /hæd/ /siːmd/ /dɪˈzɜːtɪd,/
immediately came to life. Faces appeared at windows. Men
/ɪˈmiːdiətli/ /keɪm/ /tuː/ /laɪf./ /ˈfeɪsɪz/ /əˈpɪəd/ /æt/ /ˈwɪndəʊz./ /mɛn/
in shirt sleeves stood outside their houses and glared at us.
/ɪn/ /ʃɜːt/ /sliːvz//stʊd/ /ˌaʊtˈsaɪd/ /ðeə/ /ˈhaʊzɪz/ /ænd//gleəd//æt/ /ʌs./
Old women in black shawls peered at us from doorways. The
/əʊld/ /ˈwɪmɪn/ /ɪn/ /blæk/ /ʃɔːlz/ /pɪəd/ /æt/ /ʌs/ /frɒm/ /ˈdɔːweɪz./ /ðiː/
most frightening thing of all was that not a sound could be
/məʊst/ /ˈfraɪtnɪŋ/ /θɪŋ/ /ɒv/ /ɔːl/ /wɒz/ /ðæt/ /nɒt/ /ə/ /saʊnd/ /kʊd/ /biː/
heard. There was no doubt that we were unwelcome visitors.
/hɜːd./ /ðeə/ /wɒz/ /nəʊ/ /daʊt/ /ðæt/ /wiː/ /wɜːr/ /ʌnˈwɛlkəm/ /ˈvɪzɪtəz./
We needed no further warning. Turning back down the main
/wiː/ /ˈniːdɪd/ /nəʊ/ /ˈfɜːðə/ /ˈwɔːnɪŋ./ /ˈtɜːnɪŋ/ /bæk/ /daʊn/ /ðə/ /meɪn/
street, we quickened our pace and made our way rapidly
/striːt,/ /wiː/ /ˈkwɪkənd/ /ˈaʊə/ /peɪs/ /ænd/ /meɪd/ /ˈaʊə/ /weɪ/ /ˈræpɪdli/
towards the stream where we hoped the boatman was
/təˈwɔːdz/ /ðə/ /striːm/ /weə/ /wiː/ /həʊpt/ /ðə/ /ˈbəʊtmən/ /wɒz/
waiting.
