My dear parents,
The worst is behind us! That was last night's organ concert and the lecture preceding it. Quite frankly I was somewhat worried about this lecture. Since I am not used to giving long talks in French and the hall is enormous: three thousand people. But to my amazement I discovered that I felt as much at home in French as I do in German, and that it was easier for me to speak loudly and clearly in French than in German! I stood there without a manuscript, and within three minutes. I sensed that I had captured my audience more surely than I had ever done before. I spoke for fifty-five minutes, and next came an organ recital that lasted for one hour. I have never been so successful. When the program ended, they all remained in their seats: I had to go back to my organ and play for another half hour; the audience was sorry to leave it was half-past midnight!
Here, the concerts are announced for 9:15, but at that time there's not a soul in the auditorium; toward 9: 30 the first few people arrive, strolling about in the hall and the lobby, and toward ten o'clock, after three rings of a bell, the people deign to finally take their seats!
On Saturday, a grand concert with organ and orchestra is scheduled in the morning, and I have long rehearsals in the evening, for the organ is very difficult to play since the sound is always delayed. Luckily, I'm well rested, and I am managing to overcome the difficulties. Absolutely everyone addresses me as "cher mare"; the art critics settle down in the auditorium during rehearsals; my portrait is displayed in the music stores. It's such fun.
I am staying with Walter at the premier hotel on the grand square with splendid palm trees. I have a view of the square and the entire city all the way to the big mountains forty minutes away from here; they are as high as the Hohnack. I walk over to them every afternoon; it takes me a total of two hours.
The weather is the same as at home on a lovely June day. The men who were waiting for me at the railroad station roared with laugher when they saw Walter and me in overcoats.
As I am writing to you, the square below my window is filled with a terrible din. The king is arriving in an hour, and the troops are now taking up their positions. Tomorrow evening there will be a grand performance at the theater. I have been invited, but I am not going; I want to rest, for I feel too well to risk my excellent condition.
I will close now, otherwise the letter won't go off tonight. It has to be at the post office by four o'clock. There is no night train to France.
Please forward this letter to the Fhretsmanns and to the Woytts.
Hugs and kisses.
Albert
Dear dad and mum,
I have been very happy in the school. Sometimes, at night I cry in the bed because I miss you very much. You always say “Learn well and I will be happy.” So I work hard in the school every day. After class I play with my classmates. We skip rope, play cards and ball and so on. I spend a lot of time doing my homework. After lunch we have to do Kumon. When I finish, I play Pingpong with my friends. Then I spend some time reading my English notes. At six o’clock I have my evening class. Then I have my evening snack at twenty past seven. After that, I have some free time. At eight o’clock, I go to bed. This is a day in the school. Mum, you always tell me “Happiness is very important in our life.” So I want to be happy every day. If you are not happy, call me please.
Yours,
Laura
我一直以为父亲是不爱我的。特别是我上三年级的时候,我上课不听书,写字潦草,学习成绩不太理想,所以,父亲就常常骂我,我因此还有点恨他呢。直到那一天……
那天是星期五,爸爸把我接回来后就忙着去煮饭了。我走进房间,把那沉重的书包用力甩到床上,便瘫倒在床上,心想:作业都在学校写完了,这下我可以尽情玩了。想到这,我一下子兴奋起来,立马从床上跳起来,坐到电脑前,打开电脑,找到电脑桌面上游戏的图标,正要点击进去,突然发现旁边多出了一个日记的文件。咦,什么时候多出了一个日记的文件?是爸爸写的日记吗?妈妈从来不上网的,肯定是爸爸写的。哈哈!爸爸的秘密要被我发现了!我心里一阵狂喜,赶紧点开。哇!里面的日记写得可真多啊!我该看哪篇呢?心里纠结了一下,我决定看最后一篇。双击点开,一行字映入我的眼帘:9月5日,今天打了儿子,我真后悔……我瞪大了眼睛,愣住了。咦,怎么是和我有关的?这不是他的`日记吗?我又赶紧点开上一篇:9月4日,今天我给儿子买了一个玩具……看着儿子那满心欢喜的模样,我高兴极了!我就这样一篇篇地点开看着,看着里面记载着我从小到大的点点滴滴,心潮腾涌。想起爸爸平时有好吃的东西从来都不舍得吃,给我留着;想起爸爸炒菜从来都炒我爱吃的;想起……我的眼睛湿润了。
这时,爸爸走了进来,说:儿子,吃饭了。我没有说话,定定地看着爸爸,看着爸爸那眼角不知什么时候多出的几条皱纹,看着他的手指上又多了一个创可贴,看着他那炒菜时溅满油渍的衣服,眼泪夺眶而出……
我一直认为母爱伟大如天,而忽略了那如山般高大,如海般宽广的父爱。从小到大,父亲给予我的爱太多太多,而我……
我走过去,紧紧地抱住爸爸的腰身,任眼泪尽情地滑落……
