At noon that day， I drove back to the villa. Just as I entered the living room， I heard a slight sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.

一天中午，我开车回到别墅。我刚走进客厅，就听到楼上卧室传来轻微的声响——是我最爱的小提琴的声音。

“Thief！”

I dashed upstairs. Sure enough， as expected， a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had disheveled hair and a thin face， his unfitting coat bulging， seemingly stuffed with something. At first glance， I found a new pair of shoes at the bed missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.

“一定是小偷！”

我赶紧冲上楼，正如我所料，一个12岁左右的男孩正在抚摸我的小提琴。他头发凌乱，脸庞消瘦，不合身的衣服鼓了起来，好像塞着什么东西。一看床边，我的一双新鞋不见了。看来他真的是个小偷。

Then， I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile，I asked，“Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew Rubens？I’m his butler. Two days ago I heard Mr. Ram say he has a nephew living in the countryside to come. It must be you. You’re really like him！”

这时，我从他眼神中看到了恐惧和绝望。我的愤怒瞬间消逝，并微笑着对他说：“你是拉姆先生的侄子鲁宾斯吗？我是他的管家。两天前听他说有个乡下的侄子要来，肯定就是你了，你和拉姆先生长得真像！”

On hearing my words， the boy was first stunned， but then quickly said，“Has my uncle gone out？I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”

I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin，“Do you like to play the violin so much？”

“Yes，but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it，” the boy replied.
