The Past and the Future 過去與未來

It was a beautiful, sparkling Monday morning in 1920.
Olivia was dreaming about the new doll she was dying for.
She woke up when she heard her mother calling her to come downstairs for breakfast.
Olivia got up, went to the bathroom, and poured water into the basin1 to wash her face.
Today was an important day because it was Olivia's first day of school.
Her father had given her his word that he'd take her to school in their new Model T.

Olivia bounced downstairs to the dining table where her mother had a hearty2 breakfast of blueberry pancakes3, eggs, and ham waiting for her.
Her father flipped through the newpaper as they listened to her mother talk about how much Olivia was going to like her school and classmates.
After breakfast, Olivia and her father put on their coats and rounded up her things.
As Olivia rode in the brand-new car, she thought about her after-school4 piano lessons and what the future would be like.
