12.24 Mi iom frotis miajn okulojn,poste mi daŭrigis. Mia voĉo ekhaltemis. Mi ne scias la kialon. "La fremdaj komercistoj,al kiuj mia estro vendis sian kargon,spertis iom da malfacilo pri siaj fabrikoj hejme kaj rifuzis aĉeti pliajn krudmaterialojn. Rezultiĝis drasta prezmalaltiĝo kaj sekve mia estro estas devigita fermi dum kelka tempo sian firmaon. La granda dividendo devis esti prokrastita. Sed pro mia longa servado en la kompanio mia estro promesis prizorgi min ĝis rekomenciĝos la komerco--Ni esperu,ke tio okazos baldaŭ,ĉar mia aĝo min ne atendas. Dume li proponis al mi la taskon instrui liajn infanojn kiel rimedon enspezi dum la ekonomia malprospero. Tio ne estas tiel malbona kiel en nia naskiĝloko. Fakte,tio estas pli bona ol la posteno de Onklo Pejfu: ĝi ebligas al mi vivteni familion. Ĉu vi venos esti kun mi? Mi sopiras revidi vin. Kaj nia plej juna filo devus komenci metilernadon aŭ frekventi modernan lernejon,ankaŭ,kiam nun terkulturado kiel profesio estas nepripensebla. Cetere,mi estas informita,ke la vilaĝo nun estas en malordo. Eble pli bone,ke vi vivu ĉi tie dum kelka tempo. Estas neeble,ke mi venu hejmen por vin forpreni,pro la infanoj,kiujn mi devas ĉiutage prizorgi. Vi povas lasi la domon en prizorgo de Onklo Pan kaj Alan--sendu mian amon kaj korajn salutojn al ili."
Mia patrino kaŝe suspiris dum mi refaldis la leteron. "Do li devas fariĝi instruisto denove en lia vivtempo!" ŝi diris per mallaŭta voĉo. "Kompatindulo,li ne scias,kio okazis al lia antaŭa kolego Onklo Pejfu. Li ankaŭ ne havas eĉ plej malgrandan koncepton pri Onklo Pan kaj Alan."
"Sed lia instruista posteno estas multe pli facila ol tiu de kompatinda Onklo Pejfu,ĉar la estro estas tute alia," mi komentis,provante konsoli ŝin. Dume mi spertis vizion pri la ekscita vivo en la urbego,pri la moderna lernejo,kiun mi eble frekventus. Efektive,jam flugis mia koro al "La Urbego". Mi demandis naive,"Ĉu ni iru esti kun li,panjo?"
"Ho ne!" mia patrino diris decideme. "Kiel ni forlasu la hejmon de niaj prauloj?"

I rubbed my eyes for a while,then I went on. My voice grew a little faltering. I did not understand why. "The foreign business men to whom my boss sold his cargo have had some trouble with their factories at home and refused to buy any more raw materials. The result is the drastic fall of prices and my boss has therefore to close down his firm for some time. The big bonus has to be postponed. But in view of my long service in the firm my boss has promised to look after me till the business is started again--Let's hope this won't be long,for my age does not wait for me. Meanwhile he offered me the job of coaching his children as a means of earning a living during the depression. It is not so bad as in our native town. In fact it is much better than Uncle Peifu's job: it enables me to keep a family. Will you come out to join me? I long to see you. And our younger son ought to start learning a trade or go to a modern school,too,now that farming as a profession is out of the questions. Besides,I understand the village is now in a mess. Perhaps it is better for you to live here for some time. I can't possibly get back home to fetch you because of the children I have to look after every day. You may leave the house to the care of Uncle Pan and O Ran--send my love and best greetings to them."
My mother secretly let out a sigh as I was folding up the letter. "So he has to become a schoolmaster again at this time of his life!" she said in a low voice. "Poor man,he doesn't know what has happened to his old colleague Uncle Peifu. He hasn't the slightest idea about Uncle Pan and O Ran,either."
"But his teaching job is much easier than that of poor Uncle Peifu,the boss being totally different," I remarked,trying to comfort her. Meanwhile I had a vision of the exciting life in the big town,of the modern school to which I might go. My heart had in fact already flown to "The big City." I asked naively,"Shall we go to join him,mother?"
"Oh no!" my mother said decisively. "How can we leave our ancestors' home?"
Mia patrino kaŝe suspiris dum mi refaldis la leteron. "Do li devas fariĝi instruisto denove en lia vivtempo!" ŝi diris per mallaŭta voĉo. "Kompatindulo,li ne scias,kio okazis al lia antaŭa kolego Onklo Pejfu. Li ankaŭ ne havas eĉ plej malgrandan koncepton pri Onklo Pan kaj Alan."
