Long long ago, there was a little girl living in a small poor house on a hill. When she played in her little garden, she could see a beautiful house high on the other hill. This house had golden windows. They were so nice that the little girl dreamed all day, “How fantastic it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden windows!” When she was old enough to go outside her garden, she asked her mother if she could go for a walk outside the gate. Her mother agreed, telling her to keep close to the house and not to go too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl walked until (直到) she got to the gate of the house with golden windows. As she looked at the house with golden windows, she was so disappointed (失望的). All the windows were common and very dirty. So sad that she didn’t go any further and turned, heart broken. As she went back, she was surprised to see a little house with golden windows as the sun shone (照耀) on her own house. She realized (意识到) that she had been living in the “house with golden windows” all the time. Everything she dreamed was right there under her nose! 小题1:What did the girl dream of?
