I have been married with Jean for over thirty years but we haven’t got a child. We both retired(退休)last year. We often help to clean the park near our house instead of having nothing to do at home. A five-year-old girl named Polly with big blue eyes and long blond hair often greets us politely. She with her mother spends about an hour in the park almost every afternoon. She always rides her children bicycle happily. Polly’s big blue bag with pink pockets is on her mother’s shoulder. It holds many of Polly’s favorite things and some food.
When we stop to have a rest, Polly often comes over to talk with us and shares her food with us. My wife and I like the lovely girl very much. We have regarded her as our grand-daughter. So my wife often brings some food to share with Polly. When we stay with Polly, time goes quickly! Even the air is cleaner and the sky is much bluer.
