Nila sat alone on the bus. Her older sister, Lexi, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Nila, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day.

“If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Nila heard Lexi telling her friend Jess.

Nila hit the back of their seat with her foot.

Lexi’s head popped up. “What are you doing?”

“I ...,” Nila started. Maybe she could talk to Lexi about the test. After all, Lexi had passed Level 4 several summers ago. “I’m sorry. It’s just —”

“Everything OK back there?” asked the bus driver.

“Yep.” Lexi quickly turned to face the front.

“I thought sisters should be there for each other,” Nila said in a low voice to the window.

An hour later, Nila nervously held the edge (边缘) of the pool. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across. But the coach blew the whistle (哨子). She had no choice but to push off.

Lexi swam quickly. She’d passed Level 7! Junior Lifeguarding. Here I come, she thought. A kid from her class accidentally hit her, but she just smiled at him. She liked everyone right now. Nila, too — even though she’d been troublesome earlier. Where was she, anyway?

After a minute, Lexi saw her sister crossing the pool. Nila was way behind the others, and Lexi could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe (呼吸), instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy (精力). Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight. As Nila neared the middle of the pool, she stopped.

“Keep going,” Lexi called. “You can do it!”

Nila threw one arm forward and dragged it back. Now the other arm. When she stopped to check her position, she felt discouraged. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall. The coach was talking to one of the kids, so he didn’t see her. Better keep going, she thought. But she was tired.

When parents take part in our school events, it is usually embarrassing. A few weeks ago, it was my mom who played the embarrassing parent role.

While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song-and-dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”

Before I could say “Please don’t,” my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, she is not a professional entertainer at all; my parents run a small grocery store.

“Um,” I said on our way home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?”

“Of course!” she said. “We’ll have fun!”

“OK, guys,” my teacher said at 9: 28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s welcome Arizona’s mother.” I looked up and discovered my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s funniest big hat.

“I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said. “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance I learned a few years ago, when I did some theater in college. Here it goes!”

“Oh, please, oh, please,” I said over and over in my head, “let there be a fire drill, or an urgent meeting, or a power cut, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself—and me!”

But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

I closed my eyes, covered my ears, and sank as low as I possibly could in my chair.

After a while, though, I summoned up enough courage to uncover one ear and look through a half-open eye.

“I’m really glad you helped my class.” I said to my mom.

He met her at a party. She was outstanding;many guys were after her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised, so as not to appear rude, she went along.

As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, “Could you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”

They stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, “Why salt with coffee?” He explained, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea. I could feel it salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there.”

She was deeply moved. A man who can admit that he’s homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible. She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.

They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee! So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
