My
mother seemed to be able to make dolls (洋娃娃) out of anything. She made
some dolls for me and my two elder sisters. I 1playing with them, but still,
secretly, I hoped for a store-bought 2like the one our rich cousin had. Her
doll 3open and close its blue glass eyes and even say "Mamma". I 4stopped
admiring it and hoping to have one.
However,
my dream 5came true when I was six. One day my father came back from his business
trip with three 6dolls! They were much smaller than our cousin’s doll and their
eyes were just painted ones, but I did not 7such differences. They were 8"store-bought"
dolls. We each chose one and I named 9Misako.
Soon
my sisters and I became10. Our "children" kept us 11all day. We gave
them a bath, 12them, brushed their hair, took them out for a walk and put them
to bed. Several months later, they got more like real children — their 13and
bodies became dirtier; their dresses got stained; their hair less smooth.
But,
by then, 14interests seemed to have moved into 15toys. Their dolls were
abandoned (被抛弃) and in bad condition. One had 16one of her arms, and 17was
one-legged. "You can 18them if you want," my sisters said to me.
Thus, I had 19_ dolls. They were more or less handicapped (残疾) and they often looked at me as if they needed me to 20them. I
enjoyed this feeling of being needed — being the only one in the
world who could protect them with a lot of love. Indeed, they made the rest of
my childhood days very happy.
