    Many of the world's famous cities are known by some special names. Paris is known as the "City of Light". Hong Kong is the "Wall Street of Asia". One small city in Pennsylvania may be the sweetest place on Earth. That is town of Hershey, which is known as the "Chocolate Town". It is named after Milton Hershey, the founder of the largest chocolate factory in the world.

    Milton Hershey built his first candy factory in the early 1900s. At the time, Hershey was developing a technique for milk chocolate. Eventually he succeeded. Hershey was also the first to produce individually wrapped chocolate bars. His factory grew and produced more and more types of chocolate. To this day, Hershey's chocolate factory is the largest in the world. Hershey used his success to give back to the community. He built a town around the factory for his employees. He gave streets fun names like Chocolate Avenue. He built schools, parks and shops. This generous man gave millions of dollars to charity. He built an amusement park with rides, trains for children and a swimming pool. Over the years, the town grew. People from near and far came to visit this special town, whose beauty and fame continue to attract lots of tourists. Every year close to three million tourists visit the Chocolate Town.

    Today visitors to the city can enjoy a variety of attractions and activities. The Hershey chocolate factory offers tours. Visitors can learn all about chocolate and how it is made. A gift shop sells all kinds of chocolate and toys made to look like chocolate. Even if you don't buy a souvenir, there is one thing that is impossible to forget: the wonderful aroma of fresh chocolate everywhere. In this special place even the streetlights are shaped like chocolate.

    Another attraction is the Hershey Hotel. It has an unusual mineral spring where guests can enjoy a variety of special treatments. The treatments all have one thing in common: chocolate.

       男孩溜回树下尿尿。

       老人:枣儿小时候一有尿就尿到枣树下。有一回,放学,直往树下奔。我以为出了啥事呢,他一到枣树底下就尿开了。撒完尿才说:“爹,我放学了。”

       男孩:(拍拍口袋)爷爷,我带回家吃。

       老人:枣儿到了口袋里,就想回家了。

       男孩:(低声地)……我在等我爹。

       老人:爹嘛,天天回来的,急什么。

       男孩:不,我爹他——

       老人:他怎么?

       男孩:我爹兴许今天能回来。

       老人:那你急啥?来——(拉着不大情愿的男孩到匾子前,拿起一颗枣儿给他)

       男孩:(接住,看枣)爷爷,这熟枣儿和你一样。

       老人:和我一样?

       男孩:和你脸一样,皱巴巴的。

       老人:(捏捏男孩的脸)爷爷小时候,还不跟你一样?脸皮儿像这青枣,嫩白光滑呢,唉!眨眼工夫,六十年过去了——快吃枣儿吧。(从匾子里挑了颗熟透晒干的枣儿)你吃这颗。

       男孩:(拿起熟枣放进嘴里)还是皱巴巴的甜呢。

       老人:甜是甜,不中看,谁要啊。

       男孩:我要。(抓一把枣儿)我带回家去,给爹留着。(转身欲走)

       老人:又是爹呀爹的,快坐下吃。吃枣急不得。

       老人拉男孩坐,男孩不肯。

       老人:(对男孩)咱们学猫叫?(见男孩摇头)咱们学狗爬?(见男孩摇头)咱们过家家?(见男孩摇头)那,爷爷给你讲故事。

       男孩:(怀疑)爷爷有故事吗?

       老人:爷爷的故事三天三夜讲不完。

       男孩:哇,我最喜欢听故事了。爷爷快讲。

       男孩温顺地搀老人坐下。

       老人:听好,我讲完一个故事,你才能吃一颗枣。噢,慢慢吃才能吃出个甜味。

       男孩认真地点点头。

       老人:(清清嗓子)听着。(笑)我小时候也是个馋鬼,去村东头人家偷到一颗枣儿,舍不得吃,娘要我还人,我一急,把个枣儿囫囵个儿吞下肚了。没多久,我蹲坑的地方长出了一棵小枣树。

       男孩:(指指枣树)爷爷,是这棵枣树吗?

       二人对视大笑。男孩吃一颗枣。

       老人:别小看这枣树,那一年,一个小日本站在树下端枪射我。正巧,树上一颗枣儿落到鬼子的钢盔上,“咚”的一声,吓得那狗娘养的抱头就逃。

       二人开怀大笑。男孩忘记吃枣,学着做惊吓状。

       男孩:快讲。

       老人:有一年闹灾荒,村里饿死不少人。我老伴儿把仅剩的八十一颗枣儿让给我和枣儿吃,俺爷儿俩才活了下来。

       男孩忘记吃枣。老人闪着泪花,从匾子里捧起一把枣凝视。

       男孩:爷爷,你为啥把枣儿放在匾子里晒了又晒?

       老人:我等儿子回来。枣儿回来了,就喜欢一边嚼枣儿,一边听我讲故事。

       男孩:枣儿叔叔啥时候回来?

       老人:不知道。

       男孩:迷路了吧?(见老人沉默,自语)不会的。这棵树好大好大,会老远就瞧见了,枣儿叔叔哪儿会看不见?

       (见老人不语)爷爷,你怎么了?

       老人仍在沉思。

       男孩:咱们学猫叫?(见老人没反应)咱们学狗爬?(见老人没反应)咱们过家家?(见老人还没反应)

       那,我讲故事给你听。(清清嗓子)哎哟,我的故事给忘了。我爹的故事才多呢——我该回去了,我要回去等我爹。(将口袋里的枣放入匾子里)
