Resumo de The Story Of The Old Computer

THE STORY OF THE OLD COMPUTEROnce upon a time there was an old woman and an old man. They used to take walks in the forest sometimes, nearby their little cabin. Once when they were on one of their walks they spotted a big box lying in the forest, a small distance from the mail trail. They were curious and wondered what it might be and they took a closer look at the package. After a little while they noticed that it was a screen with a computer and all other components needed with it. "How strange" said the old man, it is an old computer. But if it?s just laying here in the forest it seems like something is wrong wit it. Maybe we should bring it home and see if it works? It is just a little dirt and weed on it and that is quickly removed."Yes" said the old woman, why not? It is one of those old ones I had before, do you remember?"Yes I do" replied the old man. That was a strike of luck. Yours was a good one. So, if we were to take this one home and see if it works?"Yes" said the old woman and swept off some dirt and weed that were on the computer. They worked hard with the big box. It wasn?t far, but the package was heavy to carry so they stopped for a rest a few times, and finally they were home in their cabin again."Now, let?s see if it runs" said the old man."Yes" the old woman replied, and they put together the cords and connected them to the socket in the wall."It works" said the old man."Yes" said the old woman what luck. Just when yours had broken down."Yes, how fortunate" said the old man and started writing some Christmas verses in word."This is fun" said the old man. Do you want to try?"Yes" the old lady replied and started writing the most beautiful rime verses on the computer. Yes indeed, it is great."Yes, what a find" said the old man. Someone got tired of the old computer, but it works just fine. That is just greatThey realised that there probably were no one missing the old computer, since it was tossed out in the forest in that way, and they decided to keep it. They often wrote their beautiful rhymes on the computer and took turns in proofreading eachothers text so that they had correct spelling in all words. Finally they had written so many different texts that they could start a book publishing company with their own novels. They loved to write happy Christmas rhymes and since they got so many orders on just rhymes, in time they became famous and rich as well. They kept on writing novels and poems and were doing really well. You can understand they the compose the novels very well if you "with all confidence can say it that way", said their friends and neighbours sometimes when someone would ask for the old couple "that they still work on those books". Yes, it is a fact that they still do. They live in their small cabin and create new exciting novels and rhymes, and they went on living happily forever after.*This story is dedicated to APCI, http://www.apic.se/utbildning.html, *YET BOOK PRODUCTION 2006Translated by Linda Pettersson
