There is a primary school text that says that a child travels alone. I think I found it. . .

Read lesson 7 in Book 10 to me.

The full text is as follows:

That day, I got off in Rome and braved the heat to arrive at the youth hostel. I found my room. I opened the door and saw it. I was surprised: there was a Simmons bed on the ground opposite the door, and a little blonde girl was lying on it, sleeping soundly.

Exhausted, I hurried to wash and lay down.

I don't know how long it took, but the "Jingle" alarm clock woke me up and I looked at my watch vaguely. It was half past two in the afternoon. The little girl has got up and is packing up to go out. Not long after she left, I also went out.

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

As soon as she saw me, she sat up and said hello, asked me how I was playing and where I came from. I said I'm from China and now I live in Germany. Hearing this, she shouted happily, "I am German and live in Hamburg." She told me that her name is Wuta, 14 years old. I traveled to Europe this summer, and I have already visited France, Switzerland, Austria, Venice, Italy, Milan, Florence, and finally I will go to Greece. I was a little surprised: "Are you alone?" "Of course." She answered naturally.

A child of 14 years old, traveling in Europe alone, would never believe it if he didn't see it with his own eyes. I asked Uta, "Aren't you afraid of danger alone? Aren't your parents worried about you? "

Uta said that she designed the travel route and schedule at home, and every time she went to a place, she would first check the telephone number of the police station so as to seek help in case of danger and difficulty. Call home again or send a postcard. She also said that she spent three years preparing for this trip and read many books about these countries. In order to earn money, I go to restaurants or supermarkets to distribute advertising leaflets every weekend, and I also go to other people's homes to play with children during holidays. Then, she asked me, do all children in China travel like this? I was speechless for a moment and thought for a while before saying, "In China, children your age have treasures at home. Mom and dad, grandparents love them very much and will take them out to play, but they are generally not at ease to go out alone. "

Uta was very dissatisfied with my explanation and immediately retorted: "I am also a baby at home, and my parents and grandparents love me very much. But they have different interests, so sometimes they go out to play together, and sometimes they go out alone. Love children, why can't you go out alone? I don't understand, your words are illogical. "

I have to admit with a smile that my reasons are not sufficient. Uta said, "Children in China lack a lot of fun, don't they?" I said, "China has TV, children's books and amusement parks, and the children are very happy." But she still insisted: "It is not perfect to know the world only from TV and books. I often see Italy on TV, but only when I came here in person did its beauty deeply touch me. "

The next morning, Uta said goodbye to me and said that she would take the train to Bonn in the evening. She also told me seriously that I would continue to earn money and travel to China in the future.
