George’s Feast

George’s mother was very poor. Instead of having bright, blazing (熊熊燃烧的) fires in winter, she had nothing to burn but dry sticks, which George picked up from under the trees and hedges.

One fine day in July, she sent George to the woods, which were about two miles from the village in which she lived. He was to stay there all day, to get as much wood as he could collect.

It was a bright, sunny day, and George worked very hard so that by the time the sun was high, he was hot, and wished for a cool place where he might rest for a while and eat his dinner.

While he hunted around the bank of the stream, he saw among the moss (苔藓) some fine wild strawberries, which were a bright red with ripeness (成熟).

“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George. Lining (垫在……里) his little cap with leaves. he set to work eagerly (急切地) to gather all he could find, and then seated himself by the brook.

It was a pleasant place, and George felt happy and contented. He thought how much his mother would like to see him there, and to be there herself instead of in her dark, close room in the village. Ceorge thought of all this and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he said to himself, “How much Mom would like these!” He stopped and put the strawberry back again.

“Shall I save them for her?” said George, thinking how much they would refresh his sick mother, yet still looking at them with a longing eye. “I will eat half and take the other half to her,” said he at last and he divided them into two piles. But each pile looked so small that he put them together again.

“I will only taste one,” thought he; but, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back. “I will keep them all for her,” said he, and he covered them up nicely till he should go home.

Paragraph 1:

When the sun was beginning to sink, George set out for home.

【推荐2】阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The Board Meeting (董事会) had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and pushed against the table, spilling (使溢出) his coffee over his papers. “How embarrassing. I am getting so awkward in my old age.” Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”

Frank began, “I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed his family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his mom and dad and the other kids that were still at home.”

Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!”

He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss. When we reached the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face.

I said, ‘Dad, I’m too old for a good-bye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.’ My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield (挡风玻璃). ‘You are right.’ he said. ‘You are a big boy......a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.”

Give time to our family

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who had lived alone for 19 years after my father’s death, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked.

“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.”

She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s.”

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and warm. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through the menu, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic (令人怀念的)smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation-nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.
