Great Expectations
用户660021
After reading the whole book of "Great Expectations"
written by Charles Dickens, I can't find suitable words to express my
thoughts completely. There was a man who had seven sons but he had
no daughter, greatly though he onged for one. At last his wife told him
that they could again expect a child and, sure enough, when it was born
it was a baby girl. There was great rejoicing, but the child was weak
and puny, so weak that it had to be christened at once. The father told
one of the boys to go quickly to the spring and fetch christening water;
the other six ran along with him. and because each of them wanted to be
the first to dip the jug into the well, it fell in and sank. So there
they stood and didn't know what to do, and none of them dared go home.
When they didn't come back their father got impatient and said: "'I
wager they've been playing some game again and forgotten all about it,
the godless brats." He was afraid the ittle girl would have to die
unbaptized, and in his rage he cried out: "I wish those boys would
all turn into ravens." He'd scarcely spoken the words when he heard
a whirring of wings in the air overhead, looked up and saw seven
coal-black ravens flying away. To be frank, I really impressed by
this art of beauty. So I like Dicken's works very much.
