The other day Roy Price went "home" to his sister"s house. It"s her home, but it"s also the house he
was born in. Pat, his sister kissed him and said, "You haven"t changed much, Roy. Let me see, now
when did we meet last? ""Twenty-five years ago," he answered. "I came here for a week, do you
remember?" He added, "You haven"t changed much, either. " It was polite for Roy to say so, but it
wasn"t true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.
The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were
lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads, there was a new car park, a new post office, a
new bus stop. He remembered sudetenly that the bus used to stop everywhere, you just put up your
hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone. The school was gone, a lot of farm machinery stood in the playground.
But Roy"s biggest surprise was the people. He didn"t recognize (认出) anybody at all, perhaps
because every one seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the
children and young people?" he asked the postman.
The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children? " he said. " They"re in school, of course.
There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus to Horham. " Horham was
a town about twenty kilometers away.
At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn"t it?"
"It"s all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place. But now it"s full of old people. I don"t
understand ..."
