Oxford Bookworms 4 : Silas Marner

كتاب Oxford Bookworms 4 : Silas Marner
المؤلف: George Eliot

In a hole under the floorboards Silas Marner the linen - weaver keeps his gold . Every day he works hard at his weaving , and every night he takes the gold out and holds the bright coins lovingly , feeling them and counting them again and again . The villagers are afraid of him and he has no family , no friends . Only the gold is his friend , his delight , his reason for living . But what if a thief should come in the night and take his gold away ? What will Silas do then ? What could possibly comfort him for the loss of his only friend ? ( Word count 16,065 )
