Sophie's World
Several days went by without any word from the philosophy（哲学）teacher. Tomorrow was Thursday, May 17-Nowway's National Day. School would be closed on the 18th as well. As they walked home after school, Joanna suddenly said, “Let's go camping! ”
Sophie's immediate reaction（反应）was that she couldn't be away from the house for long. But then she said, “Sure, why not?"
A couple of hours later, Joanna arrived at Sophie's door with a large backpack. Sophie had packed hers as well, and she also had a tent.
When Sophie's mother got home around five o'clock, she gave them a sermon （指导）about what they must and must not do. She also insisted on knowing where they were going to set up camp.
They told her they planned to head for Grouse Top. They might be lucky enough to hear the mating call of the grouse（松鸡）next morning.
Sophie had a secret motive（动机）for choosing that particular spot. She thought that Grouse Top must be pretty close to the major's cabin（少校的木屋）. Something was driving her to return to it, but she didn't dare to go alone. he two girls walked down the path that led from the little cul-de-sac（street open at one end only）just beyond Sophie's garden gate. They chatted about this and that, and Sophie enjoyed taking a little time off from everything having to do with philosophy.
By eight o'clock they had set up their tent in the open air by Grouse Top. They had prepared themselves for the night. When they had eaten their sandwiches, Sophie asked, “Have you ever heard of the major's cabin?"
“The major's cabin?"
“There is a but in the woods somewhere near here... by a little lake. A strange man lived there once, a major.”
“Does anyone live there now?"
“Do you want to go and see?"
Joanna was not full of interest, but in the end they set out. The sun was low in the sky.
