Youssef spent Saturday cleaning out his attic. Many boxes sat there for years. He wanted to make more space upstairs.

Dust covered almost every surface. Old spider webs hung in the corners. He opened a window for fresh air.

Near the back, he found a small wooden box. He did not remember packing it. He opened the lid slowly and carefully.
在靠后的地方，他发现了一个小木盒。他不记得自己装过它。他缓缓地、小心地打开了盖子。
Inside, he found old photos and a letter. The photos showed his parents as young adults. The letter was from his father, years ago.
盒子里有一些旧照片和一封信。照片上是年轻时的父母。那封信是多年前他父亲写的。
