阅读理解When he thought of the past,my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school.They were brown and faded,and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather.Besides,he wore a cap—and the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured.When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group,we would surely point to the wrong boy.
On one such occasion my younger sister,aged six,burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy.“How could that boy be you?”she cried.“He should have a heard.”We were,of course,all convinced that grandfathers should have
beards,preferably
white
and
bushy,like
our
own grandfather's.
“I was a good scholar,”Grandfather would say,wagging his beard over the photographs.“I should have been top of the class if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood,and again when I came home from school.”
“But Saturdays? What did you do on Saturdays?”
“Saturdays,if it was fine,I'd be out all day in the fields with the men,”replied Grandfather. “And if it was wet,I'd be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house.There wasn't much time for studying.”
