Our good days 1

If you give me five dollars I will be your friend forever. Thats what the little one tells me.

Five dollars is cheap since I dont have any friends except Cathy who is only my friend till Tuesday.

Five dollars, five dollars.

She is trying to get some body to chip in so they can buy a bicycle form this kid named Tito. They already have ten dollars and all they need is five more.

Dont talk to them, says Cathy. Cant you see they smell like a broom.

But I like them. Their clothes are crooked and old. They are wearing shiny Sunday shoes without socks. It makes their bald ankles all red, but I like them. Especially the big one who laughs with all her teeth. I like her even though she lets the little one do all the talking.

Five dollars, the little one says, only five.

我们的好日子 1

如果你给我五块钱，我会永远做你的朋友。那个小的这么对我说

五块钱很便宜，因为我没有任何朋友，除了凯茜，她是我星期二之前的朋友。

五块钱啊，五块钱。

她想找人凑钱，那样，他们可以从那个叫提陀的小孩哪里买一辆自行车。她们已经十块了，他们再添五块钱就够了。

只要五块。她说。

别喝他们说话。凯茜说，你难道看不出来他们闻起来像扫把？

可是我喜欢她们。她们的衣服又皱又旧。她们穿的锃亮的礼拜天的鞋子，却没穿短袜。鞋子把她们的光脚踝擦得红红的。我喜欢她们。尤其是那个大的，小的时候露出一口牙齿。我喜欢她，尽管她让小的出来说话。

五块，小的说，只要五块。
