PART ONE I am a violin. Plain looking as I am, I have a wonderful sound. I used to play soft, sweet rhythm in the hand of my young master. But now, lying in the complete darkness, I’m totally discarded, forgotten, waiting for my end in this dead silence. The flown time appeared like dream in my declining memory. Those bitter and sweet days made an imprint on my vision that is all I still get. So here comes the story about beauty, music, friendship and loneliness. My father was an intelligent master craftsman. Though his gift didn’t bring him any fame or fortune, his zest for the violi

美国故事：饥 2002 0309 SE FEATURE: Hunger Now the Special English program American Stories. Today's story is called, "Hunger." It was written by []. Here is Shep O'Neal with our story. Sheena lived in Russia in the early 1900's. One day, Sheena received a letter from her uncle Moses. He sent Sheena money to come to the United States. He said she could live with him and his wife. And so Sheena came to the United States full of hope. For two years, Sheena did all of her uncle's work--she washed; she cleaned; and she cooked. Moses gave her no money. He gave her food and a bed to sleep in, and that was all. Her life was just as hard as it was in Russia. But she still hoped for something good to happen to her. Something did. And it filled her young head with dreams. She met a young man--a teacher. He spoke to her as a friend. Once he took her to a library and showed her books to read. She liked the young man's face and his warm smile. One night he walked with her from the library to her uncle's house. When he said good night, he held her hand and kissed her softly. But the young man had gone off to another city. Sheena still thought of him, especially while washing the steps with soap and hot water. The dirty building and her old clothes did not seem real to her. They were just a bad dream. Only her feelings for the nice young teacher were real. Then she heard a hard voice of her uncle calling her. He was angry and shouted at her because Shenna had forgotten to put salt in his soup. Sheena could no longer listen to the old man. She ran out of the house and into the street. She wished she were dead. No body wanted her or loved her. She ran through the streets. Along the way, she saw a note building with a sign on it. Sheena read the words slowly -- We Want Workers. It was a factory where shirts were made. Sheena asked herself, "Am I not a worker?" She looked at her hands. They were the hard strong hands of a worker. She thought to herself, "America gives everybody a chance. Why should I not work and make money?" Sheena ran up the steps and opened a large door. There was the factory, machines and people--all of them making shirts. How exciting! It was a world Sheena had never seen before. A man stopped and looked at her. His name was Sam. Sam had come from Russia to America five years ago. He looked at the pretty young girl and asked her what she wanted. She told him she wanted to work. Sam liked her. She looked different from the other girls. He took her to the boss who gave Sheena a job. She worked on a machine with an older girl. Sheena was a good worker and learned quickly. Often Sheena dreamed about marriage. What a man she wanted Ah……h -- he would have to be somebody very special. He would have to study and to learn because she wanted an educated husband. This was a big part of her hunger. Sheena worked hard in the factory. Soon she was given more difficult work to do.

'Dudders out for tea?' 'At the Polkisses',' said Aunt Petunia fondly. 'He's got so many little friends, he's so popular Harry suppressed a snort with difficulty. The Dursleys really were astonishingly stupid about their son, Dudley. They had swallowed all his dim-witted lies about having tea with a different member of his gang every night of the summer holidays. Harry knew perfectly well that Dudley had not been to tea anywhere; he and his gang spent every evening vandalising the play park, smoking on street corners and throwing stones at passing cars and children. Harry had seen them at it during his evening walks around Little Whinging; he had spent most of the holidays wandering the streets, scavenging newspapers from bins along the way. The opening notes of the music that heralded the seven o'clock news reached Harry's ears and his stomach turned over. Perhaps tonight - after a month of waiting - would be the night. 'Record numbers of stranded holiday makers fill airports as the Spanish baggage-handlers' strike reaches its second week - 'Give 'em a lifelong siesta, I would,' snarled Uncle Vernon over the end of the newsreader's sentence, but no matter: outside in the flowerbed, Harrys stomach seemed to unclench. If anything had happened, it would surely have been the first item on the news; death and destruction were more important than stranded holidaymakers. He let out a long, slow breath and stared up at the brilliant blue sky. Every day this summer had been the same: the tension, the expectation, the temporary relief, and then mounting tension again… and always, growing more insistent all the time, the question of why nothing had happened yet. He kept listening, just in case there was some small clue, not recognised for what it really was by the Muggles - an unexplained disappearance, perhaps, or some strange accident… but the baggage-handlers' strike was followed by news about the drought in the Southeast ('I hope he's listening next door!' bellowed Uncle Vernon. 'Him with his sprinklers on at three in the morning!'), then a helicopter that had almost crashed in a field in Surrey, then a famous actress's divorce from her famous husband ('As if we're interested in their sordid affairs,' sniffed Aunt Petunia, who had followed the case obsessively in every magazine she could lay her bony hands on). Harry closed his eyes against the now blazing evening sky as the newsreader said, '- and finally, Bungy the budgie has found a novel way of keeping cool this summer. Bungy, who lives at the Five Feathers in Barnsley, has learned to water ski! Mary Dorkins went to find out more.'
