　　小学英语阅读：An Old Church Bell

　　There once was a small town in Germany where acacia flowers were in full bloom， and apple and pear trees bore fruit in autumn. This town was beautiful but poor.

　　On one day of late autumn， when the grape vine leaves were dried with a red color， it rained heavily， and there was a cold strong wind. It was not good news for the poor people in this town. As it got dark outside， the small old houses got darker.

　　There was one small and shabby house with a very small window. The people in that house were very poor， but they were good and honest. When a solemn church bell tolled piously and peacefully， a boy came into the world.

　　His mother was very happy， because the church bell seemed to deliver her happy news to the whole town.

　　The boy grew up well， and his family moved to another town. On the day that the boy turned six， he visited his hometown with his mother. The town was still poor though.

　　There were new graves in the churchyard， and the old bell was laying on a lawn next some walls. That was the bell from the church bell tower. A new bell was hanging in the tower.

　　The mother told her son that the old bell tolled for people of the town when they had baptism ceremonies， weddings and funerals， and it was always on people‘s minds whenever they were sad or happy.

　　As she told him how the old bell had given her comfort when she was in pain giving birth to him， and how it had tolled happily to the town， he gazed at the bell with a warm heart.
