第一章来自美国的信 卡尔·埃里克的父亲对着湛蓝的天空挥舞着拳头。 “下雨！”他喊道。“我们一定要下雨！”

But the rain did not come. The whole summer passed without a drop of rain. The grass dried up. The cow could not give milk. The crops did not grow. There would be no food for the long winter.

但雨没有来。 整个夏天一滴雨也没下。 草干了。 奶牛不能产奶。 庄稼没有长出来。 漫长的冬天将没有食物。
