给孙子们读书 谭先生七十岁了。他住在越南一个村庄 。他当了一辈子的稻农。但是现在，他退休了。他享受晚年。 关于谭先生，有一件事你应该知道。 谭先生从未上过学。当他还是个孩子的时候，他不得不去工作。现在，谭先生有一个梦想。他想学习阅读。他想给他的孙子们读书。

Last year, a new teacher came to the school in his village. The teacher opened a night class to teach adults to read. Of course, Mr. Than signed up right away. Now, he goes to school two nights a week. It is not easy. But already, he can read more than 500 words. Mr. Than is dreaming about the day he will be able to read to his grandchildren. It makes him very happy to think about it.
