“Uh huh, ” I answered, driving, lost in thought about the timetable of my day.

“What’s the matter, sweetheart?” I asked.

“Nothing, ” my seven-year-old daughter said. The moment was gone.

“Give it to me in the morning.” I said. My was gone. I could hardly stay cool.

“You won’t have time in the morning!” she talked back quickly.

“I’ll take time, ” I answered. Sometimes no matter how hard I tried, time was never enough.

She wasn’t ready to up yet. “No, you won’t! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk. You didn’t listen to what I said.”

I was too tired to argue; she hit too to the truth. “Good night!” I shut her door in anger.

Later though, her gray-blue eyes filled my vision as I thought about how little time we really had until she was grown and gone. My husband asked me what was going on and I told him.

“Maybe she was not asleep yet. Why don’t you ?” he said.

I followed his advice, it was my own idea. I opened her door gently. In Darla’s hand I could see her paper all crumpled (弄皱的) up. She had torn into small pieces a big red heart with a poem she had written titled, “Why I Love My Mother?”

I love you Mommy,

Because I am the biggest part of your busy day!

Tears filled my eyes. When I softly touched her face, she awakened from a dreamless sleep and asked, “Why are you , Mommy?”

Have you ever ridden a Ferris wheel lately? Can you imagine the flying feeling as you are pulled up to the top and then moved down to the bottom quickly again?

Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall. That seems very high when you are on the top looking down. But the first Ferris wheel was 264 feet high – taller than a twenty-story building! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?

The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris did not give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 1893.

Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats, which each carry 2 or 3 people. But that first one had 36 enclosed cars, each holding 60 passengers. When filled, it carried 2, 160 people. During that summer in Chicago, about 1.5 million people rode the Ferris wheel.

After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 1904, it was moved again – to St. Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair there, the wheel stood unused. In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap metal (废铁).

Luckily a Chicago bridge builder, W.E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today.

But, whenever you ride one, remember that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!
