he had lost his hat somewhere, with the bunch of matches in the band, but the matches against his chest were safe and dry inside the tobacco pouch and oil paper.
then he took out a tobacco pouch and a packet of papers and rolled himself a cigarette.
他接着掏出烟荷包和一盒卷烟纸卷了一支烟。
on my part, i imitated the big girls and made my mother cut out some pieces of cotton cloth for a tobacco pouch and even made her mark out a flowery pattern on it.
我呢,也学着大姑娘的样子,让我娘找块碎布给我剪个烟荷包,还让我娘在布上描了花样。
i often think of him now, and have tried to find that tobacco pouch that had looked like a piece of pork liver.
我常常想念他,也常常想要找到我那个像猪肚子一样的烟荷包。
he got up early to leave. not saying a word, he fastened his straw sandals and found his tobacco pouch .
