Last week John went to his sister’s house, and it’s also the house he was born in. Sue, his sister felt excited and surprised. She said to John, “You haven’t changed a lot, John .Let me see, now…When did we meet last time?” “Ten years ago.” John answered. “You haven’t changed a lot, either.” John said. It was polite for John to say so, but it wasn’t true. Sue seemed like an old lady.
The next day John walked through the small town alone. The place have already changed a lot. There was a new bus stop, a new post office, a new car park and lots of traffic signs. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere. You just put up your hand and it stopped. Everything has changed.
To John’s surprise, he didn’t recognize anybody at all. Maybe everybody seemed old. He went into a shop and bought some things. Then he asked the boss, “Where are all the children and young people?” “Children?” he said, “They’re in school, of course. There are three or four young families here.”
At lunch, Sue said, “Do you think it is still a beautiful place, John?” “It’s all different, Sue. It used to be an exciting place, but now it’s full of old people. I don’t understand.” John said.
