Это мой прадедушка. Когда он был молодым, жизнь была совсем другой. Он работал в офисе в городе. Добраться до города было трудно. У людей не было машин, поэтому им приходилось долго идти пешком. Моя прабабушка не работала в городе: каждый день она оставалась дома. Она готовила и убирала, а каждое утро разводила огонь, потому что было очень холодно. Электричества не было, поэтому люди не смотрели телевизор. По вечерам мой прадедушка зажигал свечи, чтобы читать.
