Life there was a lot different than it was in Taipei. The neighborhood children often went barefoot and helped out in the rice paddies, and they sometimes stole digestive powder from the medicine packet and ate it like candy. You wore white socks and shoes and ate milk cookies and coconut cream wafers.
鄉下和台北生活差真多，鄰居小孩，常是光腳下田幫忙，偶爾偷著藥袋中的胃散當糖吃；你卻是白襪、白鞋，有牛奶餅乾、椰子哈士可以吃。
