　　This town had a temperate climate. On rainy days, most people would stay at home, listening to some classical music. When the weather cleared up, they would go out. Some youth even would climb the cliff. Some other young people would go to the circus. It had classic performances. The climax of the show was three cats using their sharp claws to draw pictures in the clay! Audiences clapped their hands in delight. But for Molly and Henry, the sister and the brother, the pleasure was to study. School education helped to civilize the people. Its one of the civil rights. And also, the government cited the Bible to claim that civilization was necessary. This morning, after clearing away the kitchen, they went to school. They wore civilian clothes like other students. The students in the school were classified by the subject they chose. Some students learned how to be a lawyer, how to face the clients and how to make every clause of the contract clear. Some focused on grammar. They must understand all kinds of clauses. Molly and Henry were in the debate class. Clarity of thinking was of greatest importance in a debate. In the class, the two sides clarified their contentions loudly. They were so serious that the two sides fought wlth each other. In the clash, Mollys necklace fell off because the clasp had broken. Henry picked it up and held Mollys hand in a firm clasp. Its a funny day!

　　这个小城气候温和。在雨天，多数人待在家里，听听古典音乐。天气放晴后，他们会出门去。一些年轻人甚至会去爬悬崖。另一些年轻人会去马戏团。那里有一流的演出。演出的高潮是三只小猫用它们锋利的爪子在粘土上画画!观众们高兴地拍手。但对莫丽和亨利兄妹来说，学习才是他们的决乐。学校教育使人们文明起来。教育是一项公民权。并且政府也引用圣经来主张文明是必要的。这天早上，收拾完厨房后，他们就上学去。他们像其他学生一样穿着平民衣服。学校里的学生按他们选择的科目分类。有的学生学习如何成为一名律师，如何面对委托人并且如何使合同上的每个条款都非常清楚。有些学生注重语法，他们必须理解各种从句。莫丽和亨利在辩论班上。在辩论中，思维的清晰是最重要的。在课上，两方大声地阐明他们的论点。他们如此认真，以至于双方打了起来。在碰撞中，莫丽的项链掉在地上，因为钩子坏了。亨利将它捡起来并紧握住莫丽的手。真是有趣的一天!
