One day I 37 on the door of an elderly woman and asked 38 she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in 39 and I showed her my worn 40 , which no longer kept me warm. She 41 me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be 42 now.” She then 43 a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a 44 job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to 45 new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to 46 me with your report card and I will 47 you when I see you have worked hard and have some good 48 . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much 49 as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and 50 so much money that it was 51 for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she 52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I 53 her that I had an “A”.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(学问). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
