On the wall in my mother's bedroom there was a photo. Below the photo there was the word "speaking?".
"Who's that soldier called speaking?"I asked one day.
"He was Harold." she said. "He was my old brother. When the Second World War began Harold was eighteen. I was twelve then, and my sisters were ten and eight."
"Harold liked to play with us, and we often quarreled. When we quarreled, we said, "we're not speaking to you." But before long we were all happy again; and then we said, "We're speaking now. Are you speaking to us?"
"When the war broke out, Harold joined the army. A month later, he came back to see us. He brought a gun to show us. Then he went miles away to the war. We didn't see him for three years-three long, empty years. We didn't often hear from him. But one day in May there was a loud bang on the front door..."
"I ran to open it. It was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold, too. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word, 'speaking?'"
"I didn't... I couldn't... answer. I just fell into his arms and he dropped his gun. He stayed with us for a month. We played all our old games again. Then he went back to the war, and never came back again. So I wrote the word below the photo."

A. the soldier was called "speaking"
B. the photo was taken when the soldier was speaking
C. speaking was the soldier's favourite
D. Mum wished the soldier could speak to the writer
57. How old was the mother when Harold came back for the last time?

58. Harold never came back again because ________.
