*कहानी:*
लड़की (कहानी सुनाने वाली) युद्ध के बाद अपने माँ के सामान को लेने जाती है। युद्ध के समय उसकी माँ ने अपना सारा सामान श्रीमती डोरलिंग के घर रख दिया था, ताकि युद्ध में खराब न हो।
माँ मर चुकी है। लड़की को एड्रेस याद है - नंबर 46, मार्लिन स्ट्रीट। वह वहाँ जाती है।
श्रीमती डोरलिंग दरवाजा खोलती है, पर लड़की को पहचानती नहीं, या पहचान कर भी अनजान बनती है। वह कहती है - अंदर मत आओ, मैं व्यस्त हूँ। लड़की देखती है कि उसकी माँ का सामान वहीं है, पर डोरलिंग देने से मना करती है।
लड़की वापस आ जाती है। बाद में फिर जाती है, इस बार डोरलिंग घर पर नहीं, उसकी बेटी दरवाजा खोलती है। लड़की को अंदर बैठाती है।
लड़की अंदर देखती है - उसकी माँ की पुरानी चीजें - चाय के बर्तन, चादर, चम्मच, सब डोरलिंग के घर में बिखरी हैं। पर अब वे चीजें अजनबी लगती हैं, अपना नहीं लगता, क्योंकि वे अलग घर में, अलग तरह से रखी हैं।
लड़की को बुरा लगता है, उसे लगता है कि पुरानी यादों को वापस नहीं लाना चाहिए। वह बिना कुछ लिए वापस आ जाती है, और एड्रेस भूल जाना चाहती है, ताकि यादें खत्म हो जाएँ।
कहानी सिखाती है कि युद्ध बुरी चीज, लोगों का सामान, यादें, सब खत्म हो जाता है, और पुरानी चीजों से चिपके रहना गलत, आगे बढ़ना चाहिए।
