His mother usually spent her summers in a small mountain town in Austria（奥地利）. The King Josef usually spent his summers there, too. One day in the summer, a band（乐队）was playing a lively tune（曲子）when Freuds mother was sitting at the window and watching the people singing and dancing on Main Street. The old woman had a poor memory.
