    Garbage collector Jose Gutierrez is 53 years old. When he was young his family was too poor to keep him in school. Jose left school when he was in Grade Two, but that did not stop him having a love for reading.

    Jose said he got the love of reading from his mother. “She read me stories every night,” said Jose. He hopes that every poor child in his city can have books to read. Jose started saving books from garbage twenty years ago. Every day he drives the garbage truck through the city's rich neighborhoods to get old books. Now there are about 20,000 books in Jose's small house. It is already a famous library.

    Books are rare things for children in poor neighborhoods. New books are too expensive. There are nineteen libraries in Bogota, the city where Jose lives, but they are all far from poor neighborhoods.

    Now Jose is famous in Bogota. Many people give old books to him. Jose plans to make more libraries to help more children.

       吃过午饭,他又开始选橡子。趁这个机会,我刨根问底,才从他嘴里知道了一些事。三年来,他一直这样,一个人种着树。他已经种下了十万颗橡子。在这十万颗橡子中,有两万颗发了芽。而这两万棵树苗中,有将近一半,可能会被动物咬坏,或是因为其他原因死掉。剩下的一万棵树苗,会在这光秃秃的土地上扎根,长成大树。听到这儿,我开始   A  (琢磨  揣摩)牧羊人的年龄。他看上去五十多岁了。他说,他五十岁,叫艾力泽·布菲,原来生活在山下,有自己的农场。可是,他先是失去了独子,接着,妻子也去世了。他选择了一个人生活,与羊群和狗做伴,平静地看着日子一天天地流走。他说,这地方缺少树;没有树,就不会有生命。他决定,既然没有重要的事情做,就动手种树吧。

       第三天,我和牧羊人道了别。

       这样过了一年,第一次世界大战爆发了。我应征入伍,在军队里待了五年。战争结束了,我只得到一笔微薄的  B  (酬劳  报酬)。好想去呼吸一下纯净的空气啊!不由得我又踏上了去往那片高原的路。这一带乍看好像没有什么变化。不过,当我来到那个废弃的村庄旁,向远处望去,看到了一片灰灰的薄雾,像地毯一样,铺在高原上。从昨天晚上开始,我又想起了那个植树的牧羊人。我想,那一万棵橡树应该已经长成一大片树林了吧!

       牧羊人还活着,而且,身体还很硬朗。现在,他不再放羊。他说,羊吃树苗,就不养羊了,只留下了四只母羊。他添置了一百来个蜂箱,改养蜜蜂了。战争并没有扰乱他的生活。他一直在种树。种橡树,种山毛榉,还种白桦树。
