The other day Roy Price went “home” to his sister’s house. It’s her home now; but it’s also the house he was born in. Pat, his sister kissed him and said, “You haven’t changed much, Roy. Let me see, now—when did we meet last?”

“Twenty-five years ago,” he answered. “I came here for a week, do you remember?” He added, “You haven’t changed much either.” It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn’t true. His sister seemed almost an old lady.

The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads. There was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. The railway station was gone! The school was gone. A lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!

But Roy’s biggest surprise was the people. He didn’t recognize(认出) anybody at all; perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. “Where are all the children and young people?” He asked the postmaster.

The old man looked up from his book of stamps. “Children?” he said. “They’re in school, of course. The children have gone to school by bus—to Horham.”

Horham was a town about twenty kilometers away.

At lunch Pat said. “The village looks nice, doesn’t it?”

“It’s all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place, but now it’s full of old people. I don’t understand…”
