Hello,这里是Wiing~第一次发讲解秀，不太好，请各位看客见谅。报名参加这个读书活动确实可以给予人许多学习的动力。就像我当初加入IWI这个大家族一样，也是希望能多多从这群充满正能量的人们中汲取学习英语的力量与动力。而且也是给自己一个每天都会去学习的监督：每天看着群里各种活跃，你会不自觉的去欣赏他们的作品；各种讲解秀也会带给你不同的领悟与感受；你每次发布新作品，都会有温暖的族员给你鼓励与建议。相信IWI这个大家族会在JJ老师的带领下，越来越庞大，所策划的活动也越来越精彩和更为人所知。(=^ω^=)

THE CHIMNEY-SWEEP.

November 1st.

Yesterday afternoon I went to the girls' school building, near ours, to give the story of the boy from Padua to Silvia's teacher, who wished to read it. There are seven hundred girls there. Just as I arrived, they began to come out, all greatly rejoiced at the holiday of All Saints and All Souls; and here is a beautiful thing that I saw: Opposite the door of the school, on the other side of the street, stood a very small chimney-sweep, his face entirely black, with his sack and scraper, with one arm resting against the wall, and his head supported on his arm, weeping copiously and sobbing. Two or three of the girls of the second grade approached him and said, "What is the matter, that you weep like this?" But he made no reply, and went on crying.

62'

" Come, tell us what is the matter with you and why you are crying," the girls repeated. And then he raised his face from his arm,--a baby face,--and said through his tears that he had been to several houses to sweep the chimneys, and had earned thirty soldi, and that he had lost them, that they had slipped through a hole in his pocket,--and he showed the hole,--and he did not dare to return home without the money.

32'

"The master will beat me," he said, sobbing; and again dropped his head upon his arm, like one in despair. The children stood and stared at him very seriously. In the meantime, other girls, large and small, poor girls and girls of the upper classes, with their portfolios under their arms, had come up; and one large girl, who had a blue feather in her hat, pulled two soldi from her pocket, and said:--"I have only two soldi; let us make a collection."

38'

"I have two soldi, also," said another girl, dressed in red; "we shall certainly find thirty soldi among the whole of us"; and then they began to call out:-- "Amalia! Luigia! Annina!--A soldo. Who has any soldi? Bring your soldi here!"

Several had soldi to buy flowers or copy-books, and they brought them; some of the smaller girls gave centesimi; the one with the blue feather collected all, and counted them in a loud voice:--
"Eight, ten, fifteen!" But more was needed. Then one larger than any of them, who seemed to be an assistant mistress, made her appearance, and gave half a lira; and all made much of her. Five soldi were still lacking.

59'

"The girls of the fourth class are coming; they will have it," said one girl.
The members of the fourth class came, and the soldi showered down. All hurried forward eagerly; and it was beautiful to see that poor chimney-sweep in the midst of all those many-colored dresses, of all that whirl of feathers, ribbons, and curls. The thirty soldi were already obtained, and more kept pouring in; and the very smallest who had no money made their way among the big girls, and offered their bunches of flowers, for the sake of giving something. All at once the portress made her appearance, screaming:--
"The Signora Directress!" The girls made their escape in all directions, like a flock of sparrows; and then the little chimney-sweep was visible, alone, in the middle of the street, wiping his eyes in perfect content, with his hands full of money, and the button-holes of his jacket, his pockets, his hat, were full of flowers; and there were even flowers on the ground at his feet.

80'

烟囱扫除人

十一月一日

　　昨天午后到附近的一个女子小学校里去。雪尔维姊姊的先生说要看《少年爱国者》，所以我拿吉给她看。那学校大约有七百个女小孩，我去的时候正放学。因为从明天起接连有“万圣节”、“万灵节”两个节日，学生们正在欢喜高兴地回去。我在那里看见一件很美的事：在学校那一边的街路角里，立着一个脸孔墨黑的烟囱扫除人。他还是个小孩，一手靠着了壁，一手托着头，在那里暖泣。有两三个三年级女学生走近去问他：“怎么了？为什么这样哭？”他总不回答，仍旧哭着。

　　“来！快告诉我们，怎么了？为什么哭的？”女孩子再问他，他才渐渐地抬起头来。那是一个小孩似的脸，哭着告诉她们，说扫除了好几处烟囱，得着三十个铜币，不知什么时候从口袋的破相里漏掉了。说着又指破孔给她们看。据说，如果没有钱就不能回去。

　　“师父要打的！”他说着又哭了起来，把头俯伏在臂上，很为难的样子。女学生们围着他看，觉到他很可怜。这时其余的女学生也夹了书包来了。有一个帽子上插着青羽的大女孩从袋里拿出两个铜币来说：

　　“我只有两个，再凑凑就好了。”

　　“我也有两个在这里。”一个着红衣的接着说。

　　“大家凑起来，三十个光景是一定有的。”又叫其余的同学们：“亚马里亚！滩边！亚尼娜！一个铜币，你们哪个有钱吗？请拿出来！”

　　果然，有许多人为了买花或笔记本都带着钱，大家都拿出来了。小女孩也有拿出一个半分的小银币的。插青羽的女孩将钱集拢了大声地数。

　　八个，十个，十五个，但是还不够。这时，恰巧来了一个像先生一样的大女孩，拿出一个当十的银币来，大家都高兴了。还不够五个。

　　“五年级的来了！她们一定有的。”一个说。

　　五年级的女孩一到，铜币立刻集起许多了。大家还都急急地向这里跑来。一个可怜的烟囱扫除人，被围在美丽的衣服、摇动的帽羽、发丝带、鬈毛之中，那样子真是好看。三十个铜币不但早已集齐，而且还多出了许多了。没有带钱的小女孩挤入大女孩群中，将花束赠给少年作代替。这时，忽然校役出来说：“校长先生来了！”女学生们就麻雀般地四方走散。烟囱扫除人独自立在街路中，欢喜地扶着眼泪，手里装满了钱，上衣的纽孔里、衣袋里、帽子里都装满了花，还有许多花散布在他的脚边。
