    Painful Boyhood 痛苦的少年時代

    James and Lou were teenagers. They were good friends. Whenever Lou heard a soft tap on his door， he knew it‘s James， James liked to tease Lou but Lou seldom lost his temper. Their country declared a war against their neighboring country because of tariff problem. Advanced technology was used in war. The technological progress accelerated the development of weapons. New weapons were produced by new technique. The president made a tedious speech to encourage the youth to enlist. James and Lou joined the army. A highly skilled technician trained them to drive tank. Both of them tanned quickly in the sun. One day， Lou received an order to bombard a tanker. Before departure， he left a tape recorder to James. Lou saw the target through telescope. He didn’t know it was a trap. The road was covered with tar. Besides， the petrol tank in his tank is empty. The tank could not move owing to some technical reasons. The enemy surrounded the tank. Lou sacrificed his young life. When James heard of the news by telegraph， he cried Lou‘s name in tears. James caught cold that night then had a temperature. His temples were very hot. He had to cool his forehead in the cold water from the tap. The war ended. James hesitated， but finally went to the telegraph office to send a telegram to Lou’s parents. Their hearts were torn by pain. They buried their son‘s relics in a temple.
