19、A war broke out In the city of Jerusalem（耶路撒冷）in 1948 between the Arabs（阿拉伯人）and the Jews（猶太人）．An Arab woman。and her husband had to leave their home and never came back since then．In 1967，peace came．The Arab woman，who was now a widow（寡婦），wanted to see once more their house．

She knocked on the door of their old house，and a Jewish widow came to the door and greeted（打招呼）her．The Arab woman explained that she had lived there until 1948 and wanted to look around．She was invited in and offered coffee．The Arab woman said，“When I left here，I hid（藏）some gold coins．If they are still here，I will share them with you half and half．” The Jewish woman refused．“If they belonged to you and still here，they are yours．” The Arab woman found the coins under the door of the bathroom．

The two widows visited each other again and again，and one day the Arab woman told her，“You know，in the 1948 fighting here，my husband and I were so frightened（怕）that we ran away．We had a three-month-old son．I though my husband had taken him，and he thought I had．”

The Jewish woman turned white．After some time she said，“My husband was one of the Jewish soldiers that entered Jerusalem．He came into this house and found a baby on the floor．”

At that moment，a twenty-year-old soldier walked into the room，and the Jewish woman broke down in tears．“This is your son，” she cried．

Since then，the two mothers with their son lived happily together in the house．
