Answer 1

25 December, 1919

It's Christmas day today, but the town looks quite unfamiliar to me. The streets have changed and so have the houses and shops. The newspaper boy who rode around the whole town every morning, tinkling his bicycle, is nowhere to be seen. The famous gift shop around the fourth lane has surprisingly turned into a two-storeyed building. I heard that the the lady of the shop is dead. When asked about the small farms at the outskirts of the town, the people told me that large factories stood there now. Some small shops disappeared, their place taken by big markets and housing complexes. The air around which always reminded me of my childhood days here, now smells more like dust and smoke. The small bicycles, carriages and horse carts have been largely replaced by motors, buses and trams. 
Overall, my hometown and its people have changed so much that it is hard to imagine that I once lived here. I never thought I would come back from the war and I never imagined to see my town look so different, yet so familiar.
