Thursday 15th June 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been abl e to be outdoors for so l ong that I’ve grown so crazy about everythi ng to do wi th nature. I can wel rem em ber that there was a ti m e when a deep bl ue sky, the song of the bi rds, m oonli ght and fl owers coul d never have kept me spel bound. That’s changed since I was here. …For exampl e, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until hal f past el even i n order to have a good look at the m oon by m ysel f. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering cl ouds hel d me entirel y in their power。 it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…. …Sadl y…I am only abl e to l ook at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. it’s no pl easure l ooking through these any l onger because nature i s one thi ng that real l y m ust be experi enced. Your, Anne Fri day, 10 Jul y 1942 When we arri ved at Pri nsengracht, we went qui ckly upstairs and the hi di ng pl ace. We cl osed the dor behi nd us and we were al one. Margot had e faster on her bi cycl e and already wai ti ng for us. Al the rom s were ful l of boxes. They l ay on the fl oor and the beds. The l ittl e room was fil l ed wi th bedcl othes. We had to start cl eari ng up at once, i f we wi shed to sl eep i n fortabl e beds that ni ght. Mumm y and Margot were not abl e to hel p. They were tired and l ay down on their beds. But Daddy and I, the two “hel per” of the famil y, started at once. The whol e day we unpacked the boxes, fi l ed the cupboards and tidi ed, until we were extrem ely ti red. We di d sl eep i n cl ean beds that night. We hadn’t had any warm food to eat al l day, but we didn’t care. Mummy and Margot were too tired and worried to eat, and Daddy and I were too busy. FRIENDSH IP IN H AWAII Every cul ture has its own ways to show friendship. On the isl ands of H awaii, friendship is part of the “al oha spirit”. In the l anguage of the H awai ians who fi rst settl ed the i sl ands l ong ago, al oha had a very special meaning. That is “to be with happiness”. H awai i ans bel i eve that once som ebody l oves the l and, they are ready to l ove thei r peopl e or m uni ty. Thi s i s the second m ost im port sign of fri endshi p. It is cal ed l okahi i n H awai i an l anguage, whi ch means “oneness with al l peopl e”. To enjoy the land you shoul d not be sel fish. The l and is for everyone who l ives on it. Today many di fferent people cal l H awai thei r hom e. Indeed, H awai i s a pl ace where peopl e m ake one bi g m uni ty from m any sm al l er munities. Each person gives kokua (hel p) to other peopl e so that al l fel l stronger. It’s believed that the isl ands can be a paradise when the peopl e l ive i n peace. Peopl e are tol d that thei r acti ons shoul d be as gentl e as the wind that bl ows from the sea. When probl ems hapen, peopl e are asked to sol ve them wi th understanding. So when peopl e of H awai i tal k about ohana (fam il y), they are real y talki ng about al l those who li ve on the isl ands. Li ving i n peace, H awai ans have devel oped a thi rd si gn of fri endship. This personal friendship is shown by giving l eis to one another. The lie, a string of fl owers, is put over a friend’s neck. Then the fri end is gi ven a ki ss on cheek. Vi sitors to the i sl ands are al so gi ven li es. When they hear al oha, vi si tors begi n to feel at home. Al oha al so means “goodbye”, so visitors wil l hear it again when they l eave. It can al so mean “our hearts singing together”. Perhaps this is how most visitors wil remember their new friendship. Uni t 2 TH E RO AD TO MO DERN EN GLISH At the end of the 16th century, about fi ve to seven m il li on peopl e spoke Engli sh.
