Julio loves to visit his grandmother . He
doesn’t get to visit her very often because his family lives in a city that is
six hours away .His grandmother lives in a big wooden house on a farm .It is
old and looks as if it has secret hiding places .
On the third Sunday of June ,Julio’s parents
took him to his grandmother’s .Since it was summer vacation, he was going to
stay at grandmother’s for a whole summer . Hid cousins Mario and linda would
soon be arriving. They would also be staying at their grandmother’s this summer
.
A big porch (走廊) wrapped (缠绕)around two sides
of the house .Julio sat in the porch swing (秋千).He
could see the trees that circle the house .They had been planted as a windbreak
(防风林).They protected the house from the wind and
blowing dirt .The house was in the middle of a large flat field .
Julio watched the dirt road that led to the
house .He couldn’t wait for his cousins to get there .Mario was his age ,and
Linda was a year younger .They had fun together .Last summer they spent one
whole morning making a fort out of sacks of seed (装种子的麻袋做成的堡垒).Then Uncle Henry took them on a tractor
ride.
Julio remembered another time with his
cousins .They had gone out to explore the fields .Julio touched an electric
fence and got a shock .Then they found an old snake skin. Nothing like that
ever happened at his own home !
Julio could smell the dinner that his
grandmother was cooking .It made him hungry .
Finally he saw a cloud of dust coming up the
road .“They’re here ! They
are here !”He shouted .
