  “Keep an eye on this,”said my older brother, Paul, handing me his watch.

  “What for?”I asked.

  “I'm going to practice my diving.”

  “Off the high dive?”I asked.

  “Sure,”said Paul.“Want to join me?”

  I didn't answer.Paul knew I was terrified of heights.I could manage the low board, but the high board?Never.

  I watched enviously as Paul walked to the end of the board, paused briefly, and did a perfect jackknife.It looked so easy.

  “Hey, why not?”teased a reckless(鲁莽的)voice in my head.“You're a good simmer.”

  So when Paul came back, I said casually,“I'll take a turn, too.”And before Paul could make some remarks, I got to my feet.

  As I walked to the tower, my legs didn't seem to belong to me.Standing on the end of the board, I looked down.

  I couldn't believe how far away the water was.I felt as if I were on the edge of a cliff with a mile of air between me and a bottomless sea.I couldn't; I just couldn't.I had to get back down.But there were impatient kids on the steps behind me.Would they let me by, or would they tease me?And Paul-even in my terror I guessed what he would say.

  Suddenly I heard Paul shouting far below.“Come down right now!My watch, you're wearing my watch.”

  An unbelievably sweet relief flooded into me.I quickly turned and threaded my way through the waiting divers, murmuring,“Excuse me, sorry, I just forget about the watch…”

  I didn't even bother to pretend with Paul.He said,“I could see that you were in trouble.You were scared to death, weren't you?I nodded.

  “It happens,”said Paul.“I was scared, too, the first few times off the high board.I got over it, and so will you.But for now you're saved.”

  I said,“Me?I thought you were worried-I mean, you said you were worried-about your watch.”

  “This watch,”he said,“is waterproof.”

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童)was walking around the shining car. "Is this your car, Paul?" he asked.
Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy, I wish..."He hesitated (犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again; "Would you like to take a ride in my car?" "Oh, yes, I'd love that." After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled ( 残疾 ) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about."
