<p>4 Jun 2007 </p><p> One December afternoon, I went to sit in the graveyard.I was looking out at the dark,flat,wild land divided by the black line of the River and listening to the low sound of the sea far away.</p><p> "Don't say one word or I'll cut your throat!"cried a frightening voice,as a man jumped up from the graves and grabbed me. He was a very bog man.He was wearing all grey clothes ,and he had an iron chain on his leg .He looked very tired and very hungry.Never in my whole life had Ibeen so frightened.</p><p> "please!Don't cut my throat ,sir!" I begged as he held on to me.</p><p> "What's your name . boy!Answer me quick"he said, "and show me the way to your house!"</p><p> "Pip's my name ,sir.And my house is in the village over there."</p><p> Then he turned me upside-down and shook me .A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket. He quickly ate this ,like a dog, and then sat me back on the stone.</p><p> "where are your parents?"he asked.</p><p> "over there,sir."I answered,pointing to their graves.</p><p> "what !" he cried in surprise ,He was about to run, but then he saw that I was pointing to their gravestone."oh!"he said,more calmly."I see.They're dead.Then who's taking care of you? Who do you live with? if I let you live,that is?"</p><p> "my sister takes care of me ,sir.She's the wife of Joe Gargery, the village ironworker."</p><p> "Ironworker ,you say?"He looked down at his leg.Then he brought me close to his face and looked violently into eyes.</p><p> "Now look here," he said."You get me a tool to cut this chain off my leg.And also bring me some food.You'd better do this or I'll cut your heart out.If you tell anyone else,i'll come after you just same."</p> |
