[00:06.25]Lesson 4 Dream² Houses
[00:10.28]The house on Mango Street
[00:13.75]We didn't always live on Mango Street
[00:16.74]Before that we lived on Loomis
[00:18.74]on the third floor
[00:20.34]and before that we lived on Keeler
[00:23.08]Before Keeler it was³ Paulina,
[00:25.82]and before that I can't remember
[00:28.53]But what I remember most is moving a lot
[00:31.95]Each time it seemed⁴ there'd be one more of us
[00:35.06]By the time we got⁵ to Mango Street
[00:37.34]we were six-Mama,Papa,Carlos,Kiki,
[00:41.26]my sister Nenny and me
[00:44.40]The house on Mango Street is ours,
[00:46.66]and we don't have to pay⁶ rent⁷ to anybody⁸,
[00:49.10]or share⁹ the yard¹⁰ with the people downstairs¹¹,
[00:51.84]or be careful not to make too much noise,
[00:54.69]and worried¹² about the landlord¹³ being¹⁴ angry
[00:57.53]But even¹⁵ so,it's not the house
[01:00.04]we thought¹⁶ we'd get
[01:02.18]We had¹⁷ to leave the flat on Loomis quick.
[01:05.99]The water pipes¹⁸ broke¹⁹,
[01:07.52]and the landlord wouldn't fix²¹ them
[01:09.37]because the house was too old
[01:11.63]We had to leave fast.
[01:14.21]We were using the washroom next door,
[01:16.53]and carrying water over in empty milk gallons*.
[01:19.94]That's why Mama and Papa looked for a house,
[01:22.92]and that's why we moved into the house
[01:24.92]on Mango Street,far away,
[01:26.99]on the other side²² of town
[01:30.05]They always told us that one day
[01:31.95]we would²⁰ move into a house,a real²³ house
[01:34.84]that would be ours
[01:34.84]
