“I don’t see why I can’t be the best person to write an advice column for the students called Dear Amty ”Andy said to Jenny ,the editor of the school newspaper .Finally Andy agreed to do it if Jenny promised not to tell it to anyone else .
At first it wasn’t too bad .Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer .Then came a letter from a person named Joe .
“Dear Amty ,”it began .“I’m in real trouble .I’ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life ,but my parents won’t even let me take music lessons .I have guitar,but they both get angry if I play it .I’ve tried explaining ,but they won’t listen .I feel sad .Should I run away from home Maybe that will make my parents change their minds ”The letter signed “Joe .”
Andy thought about this letter for a long time .Should he advise someone to run away from home Probably not .But didn’t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to Andy thought hard,but couldn’t think out a good answer .Andy couldn’t sleep .He just worried about poor Joe .
At a bar a few days later ,Eleanor ,a girl in Andy’s maths class ,sat down next to him and asked ,“What’s wrong with you You look a little bit worried .”
“I guess I do ,”said Andy.
“If you’ve got a problem ,why don’t you try writing to Dear Amty about it ”asked Eleanor .
Andy groaned ;but she continued ,“In fact ,I guess Dear Amty is rather busy with other problems.She still hasn’t answered the phony letter I wrote her last week .You’d better read it —it may even make the most hard-hearted person cry!It was supposed to be from a songwriter named Joe.”

“我不明白为什么我无力以Amty为名写好给学生建议的专栏!”Andy对校报的主编Jenny说.最终Andy同意把他的遭遇说出来,如果Jenny保证不把这件事告诉别人的话.
开始的时候事情并不是很糟糕.Andy受到的大多数的信都是很有趣的,而且回答起来也非常容易.可是后来,他收到了一封署名为Joe的信.
“亲爱的Amty,”信的开头是这样的.“我真的很困扰.我一直都想成为一名作曲家,可是我的父母却甚至连音乐课都不让我上.我有一把吉他,但只要我一弹他们就会很生气.我曾尝试过去解释,但是他们根本就不听.我伤心极了.我应该离家出走吗?或许这样才能让我的父母改变他们的想法!”这封信的落款是“Joe”
Andy看完这封信,苦思冥想了很久.他该建议别人离家出走吗?不该的.但是Joe想成为一名作曲家的梦想又有什么错呢?Andy想了很久,却终究没能想出一个好的答复.他一直担心可怜的Joe,彻夜难寐.
一段时间过去了.一个和Andy在一个数学班的叫Eleanor的女孩坐在了他的旁边询问他:“你怎么了?你看起来有些不安哦.”
“或许吧.”Andy说.
“如果你有什么烦恼,为什么不写封信给Amty来倾诉一下呢?”Eleanor问道.
Andy呻吟了一声.但是Eleanor没有停止,她接着说:“其实,我猜Amty现在应该还正在忙着解决其他的问题——她到现在还没回复我上周写给她的假信呢.你也可以读一下哦——或许它甚至能让最冷漠的人都同情得一塌糊涂——那是一封一位叫Joe的作曲家的来信.”
呃..可能不大准确.因为大部分是意译.不过主要内容就是这样了.其实Andy才真poor啊
