Red Gloves

Nobody tells you how dirty a church hall is. I swept it on Thursday evening, after the rehearsal, with Mr Doyle's old broom. There were biscuits under the piano from 2019. There was a shoe. There was a very old sandwich.

Then I took some thin wire from the kitchen drawer and tied the tin star to the top of the little stable, round and round, very tight. Nobody could take that star now. I locked the door with my key, and I checked it twice. At seven Marco came with his key to build, and at ten he locked it again. I know, because I walked past at ten, in my coat, with my list. He didn't see me. I felt stupid and I walked past anyway.

没有人告诉你,教堂的礼堂有多脏。星期四晚上排练以后,我用Doyle先生的旧扫帚打扫了礼堂。钢琴下面有2019年的饼干。有一只鞋。还有一块很旧很旧的三明治。

On Fridays Ruth's choir practises in the hall. This Friday she came early. At half past three she came into my classroom, which she has never done before.

然后我从厨房的抽屉里拿了一些细铁丝,把锡做的星星绑在小马厩的上面,一圈又一圈,绑得很紧。现在没有人能拿走那颗星星了。我用我的钥匙锁了门,还检查了两次。七点Marco用他的钥匙来做东西,十点他又锁了门。我知道,因为十点我穿着外套,拿着我的表,从门前走过。他没有看见我。我觉得自己很傻,可是我还是走过去了。
