Haddy’s parents are different than the average(普通人). While she was 36 up they required her to 37 . First of all she had to work around their home. Later on Haddy worked for other people.
When Haddy was 14 years old her mother and father told her that they were no 38 going to buy her clothes. Sure, they would continue to buy shoes for her and also the special clothes 39 suits, but 40 else was her responsibility. Some people thought that they were 41 . But they wanted to teach Haddy some 42 lessons. One thing she learned was that nothing is cheap or 43 . She learned how to deal with her money 44 . Another thing she learned was how to keep from 45 out her clothes too fast.
Also, even 46 Haddy went to school she was 47 to work. All through her high school and 48 years she worked as well as studied. Haddy’s parents had plenty of 49 but they felt she would 50 her education more if she had to 51 it. And strange 52 it may seem, they had heard that students who worked part-time generally got 53 grades than students who did no work.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out(淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
It seems that adversity(逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time to change my prayer(祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship..
