New England
White MountainsOne December night, a long, long time ago, a family sat around the fireplace in their home. A golden light from the fire filled the room. The mother and father laughed at something their oldest daughter had just said.
The girl was 17, much older than her little brother and sister, who were only five and six years old. A very old woman, the family's grandmother, sat knitting in the warmest corner of the room. And a baby, the youngest child, smiled at the fire's light from its tiny bed.
This family had found happiness in the worst place in all of New England. They had built their home high up in the White Mountains, where the wind blows violently all year long.
The family lived in an especially cold and dangerous spot. Stones from the top of the mountain above their house would often roll down the mountainside and wake them in the middle of the night.
No other family lived near them on the mountain. But this family was never lonely. They enjoyed each other's company, and often had visitors.很久很久以前，在十二月的一天晚上，有一家人围坐在家中的炉火边。火光照亮了整个房间。女儿不知刚刚讲了什么事，爸爸妈妈正在开心的笑着。女儿今年17岁，比她刚刚5、6岁的弟弟妹妹年长很多。 一位老妇人，家中的祖母，正坐在房间里最温暖的角落织毛衣。家中最小的孩子，还是个小宝宝，正透过火光在他的小床上笑着。这家人住在整个新英格兰最糟糕的地方，却找到了他们的快乐。他们在白色山脉的高处建了他们的家，这里风常年凶猛地刮着。这家人住在一个非常寒冷而危险的地方。房子高处来自山顶的石头经常从山的边缘滚下来在半夜里吵醒他们。在这山里，没有其他家庭住在他们附近，但这家人从没感到过孤单，他们享受着彼此的陪伴并且还时常有访客来访。
