Native Tongue At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying. "Why did they do this?" Kate wondered aloud. "I mean, you can"t learn if you can"t understand the teacher." Nadia"s voice was a whisper. "I understand English. I will learn." Nadia"s English was perfect. Kate was perplexed. She couldn"t understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn"t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn-all at the same time. "There"re a lot of new things to learn, huh?" said Kate. Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied. "Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn"t a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me." "Don"t worry." said Kate. "You"ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer." Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate"s surprise, Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard. Nadia solved every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands. Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. "Some things," she said in a normal voice, "are the same all over the world." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Peter was mad on mountains. Climbing was the love of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, rock faces, ice mountains, anything-"If it"s there," he used to say, "then I want to climb it." So the news of his marriage gave me a surprise. I"d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter was a married man! I couldn"t get over it. I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of risky adventures. She was French perhaps-from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonis, wasn"t it? From Chamonis he"d climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, then, she was French from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation. A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer in the theater. "Never climbed more than sixty steps in my life," she told me. "Peter has his interests, and I"ve got mine. No problems." "None at all," Peter said, smiling. "Where did you spend your honeymoon?" "I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. A wonderful show!" Peter said, "I didn"t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger. Grand place for a honeymoon! I"ll show you the photos we took one day." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
