Just home from work, Daddy stopped in the kitchen where Mother and I were preparing supper. From the look on his face, we knew something was  1  him.

“Mr. Roth is worse,” he said. “The doctor says it’s only a   2  of time now. The old man can  3  his pain, but not the long hours he has to spend along. His eyes are  4  bad that he can’t read, and he doesn’t get much  5  . He keeps begging for a big dog to be his companion,   6  he can reach out and touch as he sits in his wheelchair in the sun.”

“Why don’t they 7  him a dog?” I asked.

“Honey, with Mr. Roth in the hospital so much of time, there are a lot of  8  . There isn’t enough money.”

“They could go to the animal shelter and get one,” I  9  .

“Yes,” Daddy said. “I suppose they could. But it has to be a   10  dog, one they can trust to be gentle. Not all big dogs are.”

After supper, I  11  back where my big German shepherd(牧羊犬), Dan, was dozing under a tree. He jumped up and ran to meet me  12  he always did when I came into sight. There were no other 12-year-old girls in our neighborhood, so I   13  Dan for companionship. When I rode my bicycle, he ran behind me; when I roller-skated on the sidewalk, he trotted（小跑）behind. It had been that way since Daddy   14  him home four years before.

Now, I couldn’t forget Daddy’s words in the kitchen. I threw my arms around Dan’s neck and buried my face   15  his stiff hair.

“I love you,” I whispered to him. “I’d be  16  without you, but …oh, Dan, I know what I should do,   17  I don’t want to do it .”

I thought about Mr. Roth. He was old, sick and almost  18  . It seemed to me that he was just about out of blessings. I got up   19  . I knew what I had to do, and if I didn’t do it right now, I’d   20  myself out of it.

I went to my father and said, “Mr. Roth can borrow Dan.” Tears started down my face.

   to take; to watch

It was Saturday . As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside,Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick  were engaged in spring cleaning.

      Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the  kitchen for string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would  fly today.

   My mother looked at the sitting room ,its furniture disorderd for a thorough sweeping, Agun she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls ! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them

    On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something

wrong, together with her girls.

   There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into  the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish   the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth , just for the joy of sending it up again.

   Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their  duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,”  I thought confusedly.

   It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we   had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was , we didn't mention that day afterward. I flt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we  keep“the things that cannot be and yet they are.”

    The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city  apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently  cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.”

  “I can’t go!”  I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too  tired to walk that for.”

   My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“It’s a wonderful day,”she offered，“Really warm , yet there’s a fine breczc . Do you  remember that day we flew kites?”

   I stopped in my dash between stove and sink . The looked door flew open and  with it a rush of memories. “Come on.”I told my little girl. “You’re right , it’s too  good a day to miss.”

    Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about  his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely , but now for a long time  he had been silent . What was he thinking of – what dark and horrible things?

  “Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips . “Do you remember --- no, of course  you wouldn’t . It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”

   I hardly dared speak.“Remember what ?”

  “I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too  good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”
