On Saturday afternoon, before we went to the book
sale, we took a tour of the rich community nearby. One house after another stand among big
shadowy trees, surrounded by huge courtyard of meadows. As the houses are
generally painted white, they stand out among green trees and meadows. In fact,
we should call them mansions, for every house seems to have more than ten rooms.
Some have porches , High round columns stand on the front . How magnificent they
are.
Yet what strikes me most is the huge courtyard every
house enjoys. The houses are far away from the road, separated by huge great
meadows. Generally a path winds through the
meadow, to the entrance. There seem to be stripes of light green and dark green
on some meadow which has just been mown.
Different shades of green are there.
In some courtyard we find pingpong table at which the
owner and his friends play the ball. Also trampoline is set up maybe for children
to jump or for adults to keep fit. It seems that both luxuries have much to do
with keeping oneself healthy.
The courtyard of every house generally is marked by
low white fences.The beauty of the houses and its attached meadow is in the
view of all passersby. It is a view possessed by the rich , but shared by all.
