There is a text in elementary school about a girl traveling around the world.

Is this this one: Uta

[Text from the seventh volume of the People's Education Press textbook]

That day, I got off the bus in Rome and braved the Xia Qi rushed to the youth hostel, found her room, opened the door and took a look, and was surprised: there was a Simmons bed on the floor opposite the door, with a little blond girl lying on it, sleeping soundly.

I was exhausted, so I finished washing in a hurry and lay down.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of the alarm clock "ding ding ding ling" woke me up. I looked at my watch with sleepy eyes. It was half past two in the afternoon. The little girl has already stood up and is packing her things to go out. Not long after she left, I went out too.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, I returned to the hotel tiredly. At this time, the little girl was lying on the mattress comfortably, eating sweets and reading a thick book.

When she saw me, she immediately sat up and said hello, asked me how I was playing, and where I came from. I said I am Chinese and currently living in Germany. When she heard this, she shouted happily: "I am German and live in Hamburg." She told me her name was Uta and she was 14 years old. This time I am traveling in Europe during the summer vacation. I have already visited France, Switzerland, Austria, Venice, Milan, Florence in Italy, and finally I will go to Greece. I was a little surprised: "Are you alone?" "Of course." She replied naturally.

As a 14-year-old child traveling alone in Europe, I would never believe it if I hadn’t seen it myself. I asked Uta: "Aren't you afraid of danger alone? Aren't your parents worried about you?"

Uta said that she had designed her travel route and schedule at home, and every time she arrived, she would Look up the phone number of the police station so you can call for help in case of danger or difficulty. Call home again or send a postcard. She also said that she spent three years preparing for this trip and read a lot of books about these countries. In order to earn travel expenses, she helped restaurants or supermarkets distribute advertising flyers every weekend, and even stayed at other people's homes during holidays. children playing. Then, she asked me if Chinese children also travel like this. I was speechless for a moment, and then I said after thinking for a while: "In China, children of your age are the treasures of the family. Parents, parents, and grandparents love them very much and will take them out to play together, but generally they are not safe to leave them alone." Traveling away."

Uta was not satisfied with my explanation and immediately retorted: "I am also the baby of the family, and my parents and grandparents also love me, but we have different interests. Sometimes we go out together, and sometimes we go out alone. If you love your children, why can’t you let them go out alone? I don’t understand. Your words are illogical.” I had to admit with a smile that my reasons were not true. Too abundant. Uta said: "Don't Chinese children lack a lot of fun?" I said: "China has TV, children's books, and amusement parks, and the children are very happy." But she still insisted: "Just learn about the world from TV and books It’s not perfect. I often see Italy on TV, but only when I come here in person do I feel deeply moved by its beauty.”

The next morning, Uta said goodbye to me and said he would sit down tonight. Train to Bonn. She also seriously told me to continue making money and travel to China in the future.
