今天我们来读一个关于两姊妹的故事。两姊妹的名字叫珊蒂与坎蒂。

Today we are reading a story about two sisters . Their name were Sundy and Candy .

她们非常寂寞。当她们的母亲去世时，珊蒂还只个是中学生，而坎蒂只是一个小学生。

They were very lonely . When their mother died , Sundy was only junior high student and Candy was an elementary school student .

她们的父亲是一个赌徒，从早到晚只知道赌博，最后落得债台高筑

Their father was a gambler . He gambled nights and days . And finally ended up in high debt .

为了逃避赌债，他丢下两姊妹跑掉了

So to avoid repaying the money , he ran away and left the two sisters behind .

那时母亲也已经去世五年了。父亲遗弃她们后，两姐妹只能住在朋友家，因为她们自家的房子已经拿去抵债了。

At that time their mother had being died for five years . After their father walked down them . The two sisters could only stay at friend’s house because their own house was giving away to repay their father’s debt .

但两姐妹不害怕艰辛，仍然对未来抱持着美好的希望

But the two sisters never feared hardship and did not lose hope for a better life .

开朗快乐地过着每一天,两姊妹都非常勤奋。珊蒂利用课余时间打工赚钱养家。

They lived their life happily and actively . The two sisters were both wery hard working , after school Sundy the elder sister did every thing she could to support the family .

她送报纸，有时做家教赚钱。妹妹坎蒂在家负责做饭、打扫等一切家事，她年纪虽小，却能掌管好金钱。

She sold newspapers and sometimes worked as a tutor to earn extra money . And Candy the younger sister prepared meals and did all the trifles at home . Though the younger sister was small , she could manage money very well .

两姐妹互相关心，两人在学校的成绩都很突出。

The two sisters cared for each other and their school grades were excellent .

如今，她们依然贫困。但她们的故事感动了许多人，大家纷纷从各方面帮助她们。

Now the two sisters are still in poverty , but their stories have touched a lot of people .
