尴尬的一天  An awkward day 

In this story, a grape named Sweety supports his grapevine as they face an attack from children. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The farmhouse was home to a small family who owned and operated the winery. Their three children, two twin girls and a boy, loved playing hide and seek in the maze-like structure of the grapevines. 

The eldest sister was chasing her brother, who was the youngest of the three, through the alleyways of the vineyard. In order to keep their balance as they sped around the corners, they would grab hold of a grapevine and swing themselves around, almost launching themselves like a slingshot. They laughed with carefree delight, enjoying the acrobatics of their game. Little did they know just how traumatizing this was for the inhabitants of the vines. 

Sweety held on with every bit of strength he had. His vine was shaking tremendously as the children swung themselves around. Fear gripped every grape on that vine. They all remembered the horrific moments of their brothers and sisters falling to their deaths. 

Sweety thought that this shaking was more than anything a storm could do. Maybe it would even be enough to tear down the entire vine. Being a natural-born leader and the spiritual guardian of his vine, Sweety knew he had to do something. 

“Hey!” screamed Sweety. “Stop your foolish game! Can’t you see you’re killing us! Play somewhere else and leave our homeland alone!” 

The eldest sister hesitated for a moment. She swore she heard something, like a faint voice, but she quickly disregarded it and continued playing. Sweety’s voice was tiny, almost inaudible. The sound of a stick breaking was far louder than his attempt at communicating with the humans. 

Round and round the kids went. They chased each other, grabbing the weak grapevines and spinning. With each spin, a few grapes fell to their death. All around, Sweety saw innocent grapes suffering their lowest honor.

Воскресенье - последний день отдыха! 

Всем привет! Вот, сегодня воскресенье - последний выходной практически для всех. А кто-то работает в воскресенье. Есть люди, которые работают в воскресенье. 
Но всё же я надеюсь, что в этот день вы хорошо отдохнули, хорошо провели время в кругу семьи или с друзьями, или даже наедине с собой. И сегодня я написала для вас небольшой текст. 


Внизу я оставлю мой текст, который я написала для вас, чтобы вам было легче понимать. Пока вы слушаете, вы можете всегда пройтись глазами по тексту, прочитать текст, чтобы вам было понятно. 
Ну что, приступим, начнём, как говорится. 


Сегодня воскресенье и это значит, что сегодня последний день отдыха. Обычно я не работаю много в этот день, хотя иногда я провожу уроки утром и вечером. 
Сегодня я встала очень поздно, потому что вчера вечером смотрела американский сериал "Калейдоскоп ужасов". Мне очень нравится смотреть ужастики. 
Потом я вспомнила, что у меня закончились продукты  и пошла в магазин. Обычно я никогда не делаю список того, что надо купить. Но в этот раз я забыла купить овощи. Когда я пришла домой, уже было 3 часа. Я приготовила обед и потом решила немножко отдохнуть. 
Сейчас я вяжу новый свитер. Кто не знает, мне очень нравится вязать.  А как проходит ваше воскресенье?

script: 
城市孩子上不了大学，对城市孩子影响不是那么大。但是农村孩子上不了大学，其实他就变成一辈子农民了。我觉得一个农民的孩子如果说能上上正规的大学的话，对他来说，扩大他的视野也好；扩大他对这个世界的理解以及人脉关系也好；以及他的自我认知也好，一定是有大大的好处。我相信进了大学整体来说命运总会变得更好。因为人们的想法是被观念改变的。那能够改变观念的人最好的地方就是大学。那他只要考上大学，哪怕是三本，是吧？那他大学四年给他的磨练；带来的眼光、感觉、格局肯定就不一样的。那个时候他再回到农村,他可能就变成农村的创业者，或者是变成农村中间最有想法的人。我觉得想法是改变世界的基础。

translation:
Being able to go to university or not has little effect on students from cities. But for students from rural areas, if they don't go to college, they will be lifelong farmers.
I think it would be good for a peasant's child to expand his horizons, understanding of the world， connections, and self-perception if he went to a proper university.
I think going to college will change your destiny. Because people's thoughts are changed by perspective. College is the best place to build a new perspective. As long as you can get into a university, even if it is just a third-class university. Four years of college life will change his new ideas and views. Then he goes back to the countryside, and he may start his own business, or he may become the most thoughtful person there. I think ideas are fundamental to changing the world.
