Henry is seventy years old now, but he remembers his childhood clearly. In 1960, his life was very different. He didn’t live in a big city; his house was on a small farm. There wasn’t a television or a computer in his home. The nights were very quiet and dark.
Henry tiene setenta años ahora, pero recuerda claramente su infancia. En 1960, su vida era muy diferente. No vivía en una ciudad grande; su casa estaba en una pequeña granja. No había televisión ni computadora en su casa. Las noches eran muy tranquilas y oscuras.
Every morning, Henry woke up at five o’clock. He helped his father with the cows and the chickens. He didn’t take a bus to school; he walked three miles every day. The schoolhouse was small, and there was only one teacher for all the children. In the winter, the classroom was very cold, but the teacher started a fire in the fireplace. Henry didn’t have many toys, but he played outside with his dog. He was a happy child because his life was simple and peaceful.
Todas las mañanas, Henry se despertaba a las cinco en punto. Ayudaba a su padre con las vacas y las gallinas. No tomaba el autobús para ir a la escuela; caminaba tres millas todos los días. La escuela era pequeña y solo había un maestro para todos los niños. En invierno, el salón de clases estaba muy frío, pero el maestro encendía el fuego en la chimenea. Henry no tenía muchos juguetes, pero jugaba afuera con su perro. Era un niño feliz porque su vida era sencilla y tranquila.
