At sunset he 1 bomb-pitted road – éáõÙµÇó ù³Ý¹í³Í ׳ݳå³ñÑ 64 reached the small village and passed on through. By nine o’clock he came to the ruined farm house. Around back, in the part that still remained upright he heard the sound of sleeping, the family – his mother, father and brother. He slipped quietly, silently through the small door and lay down panting. “Tom?” called his mother in the dark. “Yes.” “Where’ve you been?” asked his father. “In town? If I learn that you were in the town, I’ll beat you in the morning.” Tom lay down getting his breath. All was quiet. His hand was pushed to his chest, tight, tight. He lay for half an hour in this way, eyes closed. Then he felt something and it was a cold white light. The moon rose very high and the little square of light crept slowly over Tom’s body. Then, and only then, did his hand relax. Slowly, carefully, listening to those who slept around him, Tom drew his hand forth. He hesitated, keeping his breath for a while, and then, waiting, opened his hand on which lay a piece of painted painting. All the world was asleep in the night. And their in his hand was the Smile. He looked at it in the white light from the midnight sky, and he thought, over to himself, quickly, the Smile, the lovely Smile. An hour later he could still see it, even after he had carefully hidden it. He shut his eyes and the Smile was there in the darkness. And it was still there, warm and gentle when he went to sleep and the world was silent and the moon sailed up and then down the cold sky towards morning. Comprehension question 1.
