Mr Wilson.

Since I was l i t t le boy I have always loved travel l ing, so i f

one day I am able to work as a reporter, I l l be able to vis i t

Wilson did.

I have read lots of h is interviews. They are fantast ic! Oneday I l l be able to write l ike him. I m sure.

mind i f I must go on studying l ike a slave for many years.

As I have already to ld you, Mr Wilsons studio is fu l l of

books.

Two days ago, when I went to his house to give back a

book and borrow another, he smiled sweetly, put h is arm

around my shoulders and said, Abel, I m speaking to you

l ike a father, go on l ike th is, reading and writ ing as much as

you can, and I l l help you to become a good reporter as I

was.

I couldn' t bel ieve my ears. I started trembling with

emotion, and without saying a word, I hugged him and ran

home.

Maybe I behaved like a chi ld, but when I heard those

magic words: I l l help you to become a reporter as I was.

Hello, George, I said - Do you l ike my new dress? Youcan look at me now, instead of the te levis ion. I t wi l l be anice change, wont i t?

quickly. His face became very pale and he looked quite i l l . Iwas almost sorry for h im. But then I remembered his rudewords to me, and I wasnt sorry at a l l .

I spoke to him two or three t imes, but he didnt even hearme. I began to feel a l i t t le afra id. I thought, Perhaps he l l

On the Top of a Mountain

I l ive alone on the top of a mountain. There are no shops

here, of course. There is no bakers here, so I cannot buy

any bread. There is no butchers, so I cannot buy any meat.

There is no barber s, so I cannot have my hair cut. I have

long hair and a long beard.

There are no bookshops, so I cannot buy any books or

magazines. I dont know what is happening in the world,because, of course, I never see a newspaper either. I never

see a f i lm. I never l isten to the radio and I never watch

televis ion. I do nothing from morning to night, because I

have nothing to do. Sometimes I feel t hat I am going mad.

I know that you are al l th inking: Then why do you l ive in

such a place?

Well , I came here because I need some peace.

My wife and I used to quarrel a l l day long. She enjoyed

quarrel l ing! She shouted at me so much that I became

nearly deaf. (And she had such a horr ib le voice!)

One day she became even angrier than usual - just

because I had forgotten to post a letter!

You are always the same, you id iot! she shouted, So

fool ish! So careless!

My dear, I said, p lease be sensible! I can post theletter tomorrow. And please dont shout! I have a terr ib le

cold and my head aches.

But she was pit i less.

Dont interrupt me!, she shouted and slapped my face.

Perhaps you understand now why I came to l ive on the
