Passage 1
Every year at this time, the peasants began their long religious journey to Geed-leh, to visit the church there, and to pray for God’s help. They walked or rode in wagons; they crowded the roads leading to the holy town, for Geed-leh was famous in Poland as a place where God did miracles. The cool autumn days also brought many beggars to Geed-leh. The peasants gave away more of their money on such a religious holiday as this. Some of the beggars were blind; some had no feet or arms. Some were very old and emed like lost children looking for their mothers.
There was one among them who was called "the Mute Singer". He was given this name becau he could not speak. There was a time when he was able to sing, while playing his guitar. But he lost his voice. Now he played the guitar and sang, but no sounds came from his throat. His lips just moved with the music.
The Mute Singer was a tall, strange-looking man. His face and hands were brown. He had white hair and a white beard: he looked like one of the wi men you read about in the Bible.
stacked
Early one morning I saw the Mute Singer washing himlf at the river. He smiled and touched the ground with his hand, meaning that I should sit down. Then, he pointed his finger straight up, to tell me that he had a surpri for me.
Suddenly, he put his hand into the water and rubbed two of his fingers together, making a strange sound, exactly like the sound of a frog. He did it many times, and then he lightly hit the top of the water, nding little waves across the water to the other side.
Suddenly, everything around us emed to be moving. I could not believe that it was real. Thousands of frogs came racing toward us, jumping, and swimming. . . under the water and on top of the water. I began to shake with excitement.
The frogs crowded around us, I could e their heads and eyes showing above the top of the water.bracket
