these things happened to me
nearly 10 years ago
i lived in a city
but the city was hot in summer
i wanted to see the
country i wanted to walk in the woods
and see green trees
i had a little red car
and i had a map too
i drove all night out into the country
i was happy in my car
we had a very good summer that year
the country was very pretty in the early
morning
the sun was hot
and the sky was blue
i heard the birds in the trees
and then
my car stopped suddenly
what's wrong
i thought
oh dear
i haven't got any petrol
now i'll have to walk
i'll have to find a town
and buy some petrol
but
where am i
i looked at the map
i wasn't near a town
i was lost in the country
and then
i saw the girl
she walked down the road
with flowers in her hand
she wore a long dress
and her hair was long too
it was long and black
and it shone in the sun
she was very pretty
i wanted to speak to her
so i got out of the car
hello
i said
i'm lost
where am i
she looked afraid
so i spoke
quietly
i haven't got any petrol
i said
where can i find some
her blue eyes looked at me and she
smiled
she's a very pretty girl i thought
i do not know
she said
come with me to the village
perhaps we can help you
i went with her happily
and we walked a long way
there isn't a village on the map
i thought
perhaps it's a very small village
there was a village
and it was old and pretty
the houses were black and white and very
small
there were a lot of animals
the girl stopped at a house
and smiled at
come in
please
she said
i went in
the house was very clean
but it was strange too
there was a fire and some food above it
i felt hungry then
that's strange
i thought
they cook their food over a wood fire
perhaps they have no money
i met her father and mother
and i liked them
they were nice people
but their clothes were strange
sit down
said the old man are you thirsty after
your walk
he gave me a drink and i said
thank you
but the drink was strange too
it was dark brown
and very strong
i didn't understand
but i was happy there
i asked about petrol
but the old man didn't understand
petrol
he asked what is that
this is strange i thought
then i asked
do you walk everywhere
the old man smiled
oh no
we was horses
he said
horses i thought
horses are very slow
why don't they have cars
but i didn't say that to the old man
i felt happy there
i stayed all day
and i ate dinner with them that evening
then the girl and i went out into the
garden
the girl's name was mary
this is nice
she said
we like having visitors
we do not see many people here
we spoke happily
she was very beautiful
but after a time
she began to talk quietly
and her face was sad
why are you sad
i asked her
i cannot tell you
she said
you are only a visitor here
we have to say goodbye tonight
you have to go now
i didn't understand
i loved her i knew that
and i wanted to help her
why did i have to go
but mary said again in a sad voice
you have to go
it is dangerous here
so i said
i'll go to the next town and find some
petrol
then i'll come back
she didn't speak
i
love you mary
i said
and i'll come back to you
you won't stop me
she said goodbye to me at the door her
face was very sad
and i was sad too
i didn't want to go
it was midnight
the night was very dark but i walked and
walked
i was very tired when i saw the lights
of a town
i found some petrol
and then i asked the name of the village
but the man at the garage
gave me a strange
look what village
he asked
i told him about the village
i told him about the old houses and the
people with strange clothes
again he gave me a strange look
he thought
and then he said
there was a village there
but it isn't there now
there are stories about it
strange stories
what do people say about it
i asked
he didn't want to tell me
but then he said
there was a big fire in the village
everybody died there aren't any people
or houses there now
how did it happen i asked
and why
oliver cromwell killed them
he said
he was angry with the villagers because
they helped the king in the war
i couldn't speak
this isn't right i thought
that war happened
350 years ago
then
i remembered the strange clothes
the long hair
the food over the fire
and the old houses
and i remembered too
about the horses
but i don't understand
i cried
i saw the people and the village
i spoke to some people there
the man looked quickly at me
and then he spoke
there's an interesting story about the
village
for one day
every 10 years
it lives again
but only for one day
then it goes away again for another 10
years
on that one day
you can find the village
but you have to leave before morning
or you will never leave
can this be right
i thought
perhaps it was
mary said
you have to go
she loved me but she said
we have to say goodbye
she was afraid for me
now i understand
i thought
i went back to the village
but it wasn't there
i looked again and again
but i couldn't find it
i saw only flowers and trees
i heard only the sound of the birds and
the wind
i was very sad
i sat down on the ground and cried
i will never forget that day
i remember mary and i will always love
her
now
i only have to wait two months
the village will come back again
on the right day
i will go back
i will find her again
my love with the long black hair
and this time
i will not leave before morning
i will stay with her
you

大约 10 年前
我住在一个城市，

了我得走路
我得找个
小镇买点汽油
但是
我
在哪里看地图
我不在小镇附近
我在乡下迷路了

我看到那个女孩
她手里拿着鲜花走在路上
她穿着一件
长裙 头发也

她看起来很fr 援助，
所以我
安静地说

她蓝色的眼睛看着我她
微笑着
她是一个非常漂亮的女孩我想
我不知道
她说
跟我去村里
也许我们可以 帮助你
我和她很
开心我们走了很长一段路
地图上没有一个村庄
我想
也许这是一个很小的村庄
有一个村庄
又旧又
漂亮 房子是黑白的，
很小 有很多
动物 女孩停在一所房子前
微笑着
请进来
她说
我进去
的房子很干净
但也很奇怪
有火和上面的一些食物
我感到饿了
那很奇怪
我以为
他们 在柴火上做饭，
也许他们
没钱 说
谢谢，
但是 d 溜冰场也很奇怪，
它是深棕色的
，很结实，
我不明白，
但我很高兴在那里
我问了汽油，
但老人不明白

然后我问
你走路吗
老人到处笑
哦不

他说

马很慢
为什么他们没有车
但我没有对老人这么说
我在那里很开心
我呆了一整天
和我一起吃晚饭 那天晚上
，我和那个女孩去了
花园
，那个女孩的名字叫玛丽，
这很好，
她说
我们喜欢有客人，
我们在这里看不到很多人，
我们聊
得很开心她很漂亮，

她开始小声说话
她的脸很悲伤

我哭了
我看到了人和村子
我和那里的一些人交谈
那人看着 快速地冲我
然后他说
有一个关于村庄的有趣故事，
每 10 年有一天
它会再次存活，
但只有一天，
然后它又会消失 10
年，
在那一天
你可以找到村庄，
但你必须 在早上之前离开，
否则你永远不会
离开，这对吗？
我想
也许是
玛丽说
你必须离开
她爱我但她说
我们必须说再见
她现在为我害怕
我明白
我以为
我回到了 村子

不见了 找了好几遍
还是找不到
只看到花草
树木 只听到鸟鸣
和风声
我很难过
我坐在地上哭了
永远不会忘记那一天
我记得玛丽，我永远爱
她
现在
我只需要等待
两个月村庄会
在正确的日子再次
回来我会回去
我会再次找到她
我对黑色长发的爱
和这个 时间
我不会在早上之前离开
我会和她在一起
你
