Questions
When I arrived, I saw there was a tall tree at the entrance to the village. In front of the tree sat a lady in red. I didn’t know who she was at first, partly because I was near-sighted. Only when I came near could I recognize that she was my mother. My brothers haven’t returned home in the past ten years, neither have I. We are all too busy with our work. Sometimes, I said to myself: “Were I free, I would often visit my mother.”
Of course I know this is only an excuse. Not until my father died did I make up my mind to return home and stay with my mother for some time. We three brothers gave our mother a call and promised to have a winter holiday with her. Once made a promise, we should keep it.
