input: Please answer the following: W: You're right. It was taken 71 years ago, during the Second World War. I was just 6 years old then. M: Is this little girl you? W: Yes. And the little boy is my younger brother. The couple standing behind us is our parents. It is the only picture of my family. M: Hadn't you taken any pictures together before you took this one? W: Of course we did. But all the pictures were destroyed when a bomb destroyed our house. This picture survived because I always took it with me. M: Didn't you taken any picture after the bomb? W: Well, it was a sad story. My father was killed in that bombing. M: I'm sorry to hear that. War left many people sad memories. W: Yes. And I'm so glad we can lead such a peaceful life nowadays.
