Days ago, I made a skirt for a friend’s daughter. Today, when I wa lked in the door, I noticed the light shinning on my answering machine. It was my friend saying, 〝I know you worked hard on the skirt and it l ooks very nice, but Janet doesn’t like all those flowers. Could you chan ge them?〞
I was angry and wanted to call her back. Then I suddenly thought o f Grandma and what she had once done for me long ago.
It was a summer when I was eight. One day, Grandma decided to c url (使卷曲) my hair. She spent a long time on each curl, and I could te ll she enjoyed doing that.
When she was finished she was so proud. She made me stand on a chair to look in the mirror.My heart went cold.
〝You can go out and play now,〞Grandma said, smiling.
I nodded and slowly walked toward the door. I looked out of the sm all window in the door and could see some kids playing outside. My bes t friend, Ducky, saw me and waved for me to come outside, but I could n’t move. I knew everyone would laugh at the curls. At the same time I couldn’t go back and tell Grandma how I felt.
Finally I went into Grandma’s room and said in a scared voice, 〝Grandma, my hair’s too curly.〞
She didn’t say a word. She placed a comb (梳子) in water, combe d out all my curls, and then stood me back on the chair so I could see in the mirror. Then I went off to play.
It was when Grandma took out my curls that I knew she loved me. She had put my feelings before hers. And that is the kind of love I try t o pass on today.
I called my friend back. 〝I’d be glad to change the _______,〞I said.
