        what

    to

    say.

    The

    gate

    was

    closed，

    letting

    out

    a

    pitiable

    screech.

    Some

    of

    the

    children

    burst

    into

    tears.

    The

    bell

    rang.

    A

    lady

    came

    along，

    followed

    by

    a

    group

    of

    men.

    The

    men

    began

    s

    us

    into

    ranks.

    We

    were

    formed

    into

    an

    intricate

    pattern

    in

    the

    great

    courtyard

    surrounded

    on

    three

    sides

    by

    high

    buildings

    of

    several

    floors;

    from

    each

    floor

    we

    were

    overlooked

    by

    a

    long

    balcony

    roofed

    in

    wood.

    “This

    is

    your

    new

    home，“

    said

    the

    too

    there

    are

    mothers

    and

    fathers.

    Here

    there

    is

    everything

    that

    is

    enjoyable

    and

    beneficial

    to

    knowledge

    and

    religion.

    Dry

    your

    tears

    and

    face

    life

    joyfully.“

    We

    submitted

    to

    the

    facts，

    and

    this

    submission

    brought

    a

    sort

    of

    coment

    Living

    beings

    were

    drawn

    to

    other

    living

    beings，

    and

    from

    the

    first

    moments

    my

    heart

    made

    friends

    with

    such

    boys

    as

    were

    to

    be

    my

    friends

    and

    fell

    in

    love

    with

    such

    girls，

    as

    I

    was

    to

    be

    in

    love

    with，

    so

    that

    it

    seemed

    my

    misgivings

    had

    had

    no

    basis.

    I

    had

    never

    imagined

    school

    would

    have

    this

    rich

    variety.

    We

    played

    all

    sorts

    of

    different

    games:

    swings，

    the

    vaulting

    horse，

    ball

    games.

    In

    the

    music

    room

    we

    chanted

    our

    first

    songs.

    We

    also

    had

    our

    first

    introduction

    to

    language.

    We

    saw

    a

    globe

    of

    the

    Earth，

    which

    revolved

    and

    showed

    the

    various

    cos

    and

    countries.

    We

    started

    learning

    the

    numbers.

    The

    story

    of

    the

    Creator

    of

    the

    universe

    was

    read

    to

    us，

    we

    were

    told

    of

    His

    present

    world

    and

    of

    His

    Hereafter，

    and

    we

    heard

    examples

    of

    what

    He

    said.

    We

    ate

    delicious

    food，

    took

    a

    little

    nap，

    and

    woke

    up

    to

    on

    with

    friendship

    and

    love，

    play

    and

    learning.

    As

    our

    path

    revealed

    itself

    to

    us，

    however，

    we

    did

    not

    find

    it

    as

    totally

    sweet

    and

    unclouded

    as

    we

    had

    presumed.

    Dustladen

    winds

    and

    ued

    accidents

    came

    about

    suddenly，

    so

    we

    had

    to

    be

    watchful，

    at

    the

    ready，

    and

    very

    patient.

    It

    was

    not

    all

    a

    matter

    of

    playing

    and

    fooling

    around.

    Rivalries

    could

    bring

    about

    pain

    and

    hatred

    ive

    rise

    to

    fighting.

    And

    while

    the

    lady

    would

    sometimes

    smile，

    she

    would

    often

    scowl

    and

    scold.

    Even

    more

    frequently

    she

    would

    resort

    to

    physical

    punishment.
