  I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down(定居).

  I wasted a lot of time looking for the“typical”(典型的)village. Yet no such thing exists. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a newspaper reporter because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the developing countries was more important than anything else. But to understand how three quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.

  In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in down a path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Every time I stopped to catch my breadth, there was a wonderful sight. After several hours' walk the village was in sight.
