那年,她6岁,自从在卡恩家玩过一次会唱歌的布娃娃,她就迷上了它,连做梦时都没办法忘记。布娃娃并不是太贵,只要20个比索就能买到,可她依然不好意思开口,母亲身体不好,一直病着。父亲又经常失业,家里的日子很拮据。那些天,她在帮母亲做家务时,时常会停下来,偷偷扫一眼墙上的日历,在心里悄悄奢望,如果自己过生日时,能得到一个布娃娃,那该有多好! That year, she was six and she had been hooked on a rag doll she had been singing since she was at Kahn’s home. She could not even forget her dreams. Rag doll is not too expensive, as long as 20 pesos will be able to buy, but she is still sorry to say that her mother is in poor health and has been sick. My father is often unemployed, and the days at home are very tight. These days, when she was helping her mother to do her housework, she often stopped and scooped a cellar on the wall, quietly expecting in her heart that if she could get a doll on her birthday, how wonderful!
