The lesson of the cliff
It was a sultry day in Philadelphia in July, although the first time in fifty-seven years, but I can still feel that hot. Five little boys at that time and I together, because playing marbles to play tired, want to find some new tricks to play.
"Hey!" Ned said, "We haven't climbed the cliff."
"We will go to climb now!" cried the child. They were flying towards a cliff to.
I am undecided. Although I very much hope that they can like them and spirited, but the self was born after eight years, I have been ill, but my heart always remember my mother told me not to adventure.
"Come on!"My best friend Jerry shout at me, "don't be a coward."
"I come!" I side, side run with them.
We finally came to a clearing. The cliff on the stands on the other side of the clearing. It is a vertical cliff; the wall has many convex out of the rock, the colluviums and scraggly bushes. Only about twenty meters high, but too high to be reached in my eyes is the perilous peak.
The other children one by one to climb, towards a block away from the cliff top there are 2/3 narrow ledge on the journey. I fell on the last, trembling, out in a cold sweat, followed them to climb. My heart is become as emaciated as a fowl chest Dingdong jumping.
I finally climbed it, squatting on the shelf, shudder with fear, as far as possible to rely on. The other children slowly to the shelf edge mobile look me in the eyes, scared almost fainted.
Then, they began to climb the cliff top. They intend from the cliff top along a circuitous path down home.
"Hey, wait a minute," I feebly begged, "I can't -"
"good bye!" said a child. The other children to follow are laughing.
They turn left turn right up on the top of the cliff, staring down at me. "If you want to stay there, you better stay."Have the children laughed, "You’re welcome." Jerry seems a bit worried, but still we walked together.
I looked down, feel be dizzy from the shelf; I never climb down, I will slip up. However, to the top of the cliff road more difficult to climb because it is steeper, more risks. I heard someone sobbing, was surprised that who is, results found out my own.
A second time in the past, start four twilight. In silence, and I fell on the rock, fear and fatigue make my whole body numb, unable to move.
The dusk, the sky the stars appeared, cliff earth getting darker. At this time, the woods have a flashlight according to according to. I hear him and my father's voice! Father's hand electro-optic according to my. "Come down, boy,"he took comfort in his tone, "supper's ready."
"I won't go!" I cried, "I'm going down, I'll die!"
"Listen to me," my father said, "how far do not think distance As long as you think you are to take a small step. You can do it. Look into my eyes flashlight light the place; you can see the stones beneath the rock? "
I slowly put the body to move past.”See." I said.
"Well," he said to me, "now you put the left foot to the rock. Don't worry about the next step. Listen to my words."
This seems to be able to do. I carefully put out his left foot and went on the rock, and stepped on it. I suddenly have confidence. "Good," my father exclaimed, "now move the right foot, move it to the right a little lower place, where there is a goal."And I did. My confidence. "I can do it." I want to.
Every time I move only small step, slowly climbed down the cliff. Finally, I stepped on the cliff rock, into the strong arms of father. First I weep for a while, then, I have a great sense of achievement. This is I will never forget the experience.
I've always found that whenever I feel hopeless and frustrated, as long as remember I long ago in a small cliff learned, I can cope with all the. I remind myself, don't think far below the rock, and to focus on the first step, walk the one step at a time, until the arrival of my going to the place. At this time, I can surprise and proud to look back, his passing away was how long.。
