Dear Kitty,

We’ve been hiding in the ‘Secret Annexe’ for a whole year now. You know a lot about our lives, but there is so much that I cannot tell you. To help you understand how different our lives are from ordinary (平常) times, I’ll give you a description of what happens on a normal night.

At nine o’clock, everyone gets ready for bed. Everything has to be moved around. Chairs are moved and blankets are pulled out. I sleep on a little couch. It’s not very long, so a chair is used to lengthen (加长) it. All kinds of things are used for everyone to make them comfortable for the night. When Peter is finished, it is my turn to wash and clean my teeth. At nine thirty, I finish washing and remove all of my things from where we wash. At eight o’clock, the lights are turned off. For the next fifteen minutes, the only sound is the squeak, and then Dussel comes in to get ready for bed. He always stays up late to work. At three o’clock, I have to get up to use the toilet, I then lie awake for a while trying to get back to sleep. The sounds of Dussel gasping and groaning in his sleep often keep me awake at this hour. From time to time, gunfire wakes everyone up between the hours of one and four. I usually grab (抓起) my pillow (枕头) and slippers and hurry to Daddy’s room when this happens. At a quarter to seven, the alarm clock goes off and by a quarter past seven, everyone is up and ready to begin a new day.

Anne

If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It’s a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film.
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, the Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions--in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl’s life and tells The Little Prince’s story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.
“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic(品质)goes away as time flies,” he says.
