章节摘录

　　Why are there so many different sorts of people here? How do people get so rich?" "Why does everyone drive a car and no one walk along the street?" I found it difficult to answer his questions and I usually just replied, "Because that's the way it is, silly. "　　My mother and father seemed delighted to have Sam stay with us and spoke to him in Chinese at the dinner table while I turned my back on them and watched the Disney show on TV.　　As the days went by, however, I began to like showing Sam around the town and introducing him to my friends. He was always smiling and interested in everything we did. He never complained when I ignored him and went shopping with my girlfriends. He always found something in the shopping mall to amuse him.　　One day I introduced him to roller skating. Sam had never seen roller skates before and of course he kept falling over at first. But after a while he learned how to keep his balance and I took him to the park where we could skate together in safety.　　We skated on the path, in and out of the trees, sometimes holding hands and sometimes keeping apart. I suggested we have a race and although Sam didn't really want to race me he had to chase after me. As I came down a steep slope I suddenly saw that a branch of a tree had fallen down across the path. Too late! I couldn't avoid the branch. I crashed into it and went head over heels onto the hard surface. The shock of the accident hurt me as much as the fall itself and I started to cry. Sam raced up to me and fell down as he tried to stop. He put his arms around me, held me tight and whispered into my ear. "Katy, darling Katy, it's all right. You're going to be all right. I'm here, I'm with you and I won't let you go. Katy, my darling, Katy. "　　And then, wonderfully, he was kissing my cheeks, licking away my tears, holding my face in his hands. I started kissing him back, and then we were both kissing each other, lying on the path between the trees in the park. We didn't see the bright sun, or hear the calls of the birds or feel the 'light breeze——we were aware of nothing but each other, here and now.　　……
