They were brought up together and shared the same interests, games and books. When he grew up he left for the University and she stayed on waiting for him. Then the war broke up out and her parents died. When she ran out of food and money she began to work as a nurse in a hospital, looking after the enemy soldiers. The landlord put up the rent so she had to share her room with another nurse. She didn’t mind taking care of the wounded soldiers as deep in her heart she felt pity for them.
