It was New Year’s night, An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful（悲哀的）eyes towards the deep 36 sky, where the stars were 37 like white lilies(百合花)on
the surface of a clear calm lake．Then he threw them on the earth．Where a few more 38 people than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the 39 ，He had already passed sixty of the 40 leading to it，and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regret．Now his health was poor，his mind 41 ，his heart sorrowful，and his old age short of 42．
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him．and he recalled the 43 moment
when his father placed him at the 44 to the two roads-one leading to a 45 ．sunny place．
covered with flowers，fruits and resounding with soft，sweet songs；the other 1eading to a deep，
dark cave．which was endless． 46 poison flowed instead of water and where deviIs(恶魔)and
poisonous snakes hissed and crawled．
He saw the 47 fading away in the darkness．and these were the days of his 48 life；He saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared，and this was the 49 of himself．His regret，which was like a sharparrow．Struck deeply into his heart．Then he remembered his friends in his
childhood．who entered on life together with him．But they had 50 to success and were now

The clock in the high church tow struck and the sound made him remember his parents’
early love for him．They had taught him and 51 to God for his good．But he chose the 52
way．With shame and grief he 53 no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived．
His darkened eyes were full of tears，and with a despairing 54 ，he burst out a cry；“Come back，my 55 days!Come back!”

现在再提经过大家协商放弃的啤酒真是没有道理。这时有人追问我说出来的这句忌语。他不是我的同僚，而是村里的少年切特里。
第二天午后，来摄影现场看热闹的切特里问道：“今天不要啤酒吗？” 
可是到了晚上他还没回来。到了临近午夜还是没有消息。我向村民打听会不会出事了，他们异口同声地说：“如果给了他那么多钱，肯定是跑了。有那么一笔钱，就是到首都加德满都也没问题。” 
十五岁的切特里是越过一座山从一个更小的村子来到这里的，平时就寄住在这里去上学。土屋里放一张床，铺上只有一张席子。因为我拍过他住的地方并问了许多问题，所以对他的情况是了解的。
在那间土屋里，切特里每天吃着自己做的咖喱饭发奋学习。咖喱是他把两种香料和辣椒放在一起夹在石头里磨了以后和蔬菜一起煮出来的。由于土屋很暗，白天在家学习也得点着油灯。
切特里还是没有回来。第二天也没有回来。到第三天也就是星期一还没有回来。我到学校向老师说明情况、道歉并商量对策，可是连老师都说：“不必担心，不会出事的。拿了那么一笔钱，大概跑了吧。” 
这样坐立不安地过了三天，到了第三天深夜，有人猛敲我宿舍的门。唉呀，打开门一看，切特里站在外面。
