Lesson 6－Part 2
When she was 28 years old, /
Maria found an advertisement /
for a teaching job in Peru. //
Soon she decided to take the job /
and left for Peru. //
She was hopeful /
about her job and the future. //
In her first two years, /
she enjoyed teaching children. //
However, /
she had one unfortunate experience. //
She injured her finger badly /
on a cactus. //
“Your finger is so bad /
that I have to cut it off,” /
her doctor said. //
Maria lost one of her fingers. //
Even after the accident, /
however, /
she stayed in Peru. //
