3、一个小女孩的梦想英语美文

4、Finally, she believed she had something to say and started a book、She sent it off to two publishers and was rejected、She put it away, sadly、Several years later, the old dream increased in persistence、She got an agent and wrote another book、She pulled the other out of hiding, and soon both were sold.

5、Then she remembered that librarians invitation, and her promise.

6、As she grew, so did her dream、She got her first job in ninth grade, writing brief personality profiles, which earned her $1.50 each from the local newspaper、The money palled in comparison with the magic of seeing her words on paper.

7、Inside, the librarian welcomed her warmly、She introduced a reporter from the local newspaper - a descendant of the paper shed begged a chance to write for long ago.

8、Then she presented her books to the librarian, who placed them on the counter with a sign of explanation、Tears rolled down the womans cheeks.

9、The promise was a long time keeping、But then, so was the dream.

10、In the early 1950s in a small Southern California town, a little girl hefted yet another load of books onto the tiny librarys counter.

11、The librarian called and said, Come. So she did, clutching a copy of each book.

12、Of course, that particular librarian had died long ago, and the little library had been razed to make way for a larger incarnation.

13、Then she hugged the librarian and left, pausing for a picture outside, which proved that dreams can come true and promises can be kept、Even if it takes thirty-eight years.

14、She edited her high-school paper, married and started a family, but the itch to write burned deep、She got a part-time job covering school news at a weekly newspaper、It kept her brain busy as she balanced babies.

15、But no book.

16、As the white-haired librarian hand-stamped the due dates in the ten-year-olds choices, the little girl looked longingly at The New Book prominently displayed on the counter、She marveled again at the wonder of writing a book and having it honored like that, right there for the world to see.

17、The ten-year-old girl and the writer shed become posed by the library sign, right next to the readerboard, which said:

18、The librarian looked up from her stamping and smiled, not with the condescension so many children receive, but with encouragement.

19、She found the big new library right across the street from her old high school; just opposite the room where shed struggled through algebra, mourning the necessity of a subject that writers would surely never use, and nearly on top of the spot where her old house once stood, the neighborhood demolished for a civic center and this looming library.

20、When you do write that book, she replied, bring it into our library and well put it on display, right here on the counter.

21、When I grow up, she said, Im going to be a writer、Im going to write books.

22、The little girl promised she would.

23、But the world of book publishing moves slower than that of daily newspapers, and she waited two long years、The day the box arrived on her doorstep with its free authors copies, she ripped it open、Then she cried、Shed waited so long to hold her dream in her hands.

24、She went to work full time for a major daily、Even tried her hand at magazines.

25、A book was a long way off.

26、The girl was a reader、Her parents had books all over their home, but not always the ones she wanted、So shed make her weekly trek to the yellow library with the brown trim, the little one-room building where the childrens library actually was just a nook、Frequently, she ventured out of that nook in search of heftier fare.

27、The woman called and got the name of the head librarian、She wrote a letter, telling her how much her predecessors words had meant to the girl、Shed be in town for her thirtieth high school reunion, she wrote, and could she please bring her two books by and give them to the library? It would mean so much to that ten-year-old girl, and seemed a way of honoring all the librarians who had ever encouraged a child.
