Chapter1 Childhood (1918-1941)
Nelson Mandela was a country boy. When I first knew him he lived in a small village near the India Ocean, in a hut shaped like beehive.
With his mother and his three sisters , he ate meals out of a communal pot. The food was usually samp, a porridge made from corn on the cob. Mmm, it was delicious!
sar是什么意思He was five, even younger than you, when he became a herd boy. He looked after the sheep and cows. It wasn’t all hard work. He played tag and hide-and-ek with his friends, just like you do. The writers were cold, I remember, so sometimes he would wear a blanket. And he loves to drink the warm milk straight from the cow.

The regent liked him-maybe becau he worked hard and was ready to pull his weight. One job he liked doing was to iron the regent’s trours. People have always said Mandela is fashionably dresd.
