I grew up in a small town where the elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in

an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the

time, I didn t consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch

time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.

Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the

princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practiced my lines with me. But

no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared

from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator

and had written a narrator s part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, kindly

delivered, still hurt me especially when I saw my part go to another girl.

I didn t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my

unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It

was a lovely spring day and the rose vine(藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see

yellow dandelions(蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had

touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of

the bushes. “I think I m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its

roots. “ From now on, we ll have roses in this garden?” I immediately protested, “ But I like

dandelions. All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions. ”
