Passage 1
Bill and Barri Hamilton didn’t imagine that they would make their home at an old school house someday. One day they drove to Martindale. It is a small town located in the south-west of the U.S.A. They came for an old German car. Bill has a business of buying and selling old cars. Then they found the Martindale schoolhouse and fell in love with it. It was for sale and they wanted to buy it. Some local people were worried that their beloved schoolhouse would be a lot different, but the Hamiltons said they felt like its doorkeepers.
At last they bought it. They made the old schoolhouse into their comfortable home. They built a garden and a swimming pool behind the house. They built two kitchens, three bathrooms, four toilets, four drawing-rooms and eight bedrooms inside it. They even had a dancing-hall in the central part of the house and they repaired the playground. Most importantly, the schoolhouse looks almost the same as it was before.
Small-town life, especially living in an old school, might seem an unusual choice for the Hamiltons. So they started their new country life. Barri Hamilton says she and her husband have made many friends in Martindale. She didn’t make so many fr iends in the city though she lived there for 30 years.
Buying the school was a “sensitive thing” for some residents, because so many had been educated there. “It’s important that Bill and I explain to
everybody that we feel like the doorkeepers of this sch ool,” Barri says.“When we are gone, we’ll leave it in better shape than when we found it.”

live together in peace.
Each summer 200 young people and 60 older people live together for
eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several
hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy. It is to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some young people work in the woods or on the farm
near the village. Some learn to make furniture and build houses. Older people
teach them these skills.
When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program
