The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never reduced his humor or his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, Gramp made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said: “Edwin, you can p ick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.” Then he drove away with his horses. The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink.“How many potatoes did you pick up?” Gramp inquired. “I didn’t pick any.” “Not any! Why?” You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You didn’t say I had to.” In the next few minutes, I learned a lesson I will not forget: when Gramp said I could if I wanted to. he meant that I should want to.My grandmother (“Gram”）worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, andeven working in the field when help was scarce.

She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, “See how beautiful this is!”In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value.
