11．He looked like a pirate．
With his handkerchief tied in a knot behind his little nine-year-old head，he looked like a pirate，a sad pirate．The first time little David came to our camp，he was hairless and worn out from medical treatments．He was also very angry．
Paul Newman's camp counselors （指导老师） were hoping to fill David's days with fun and laughter．But David stayed inside himself，wanting to be alone，or in a corner of the cabin．At this camp for children with life-threatening illnesses，we had seen some pretty tough children worn out by cancer recover full of energy despite their illness．But we saw little progress in David no matter what we tried with him．Five days into the eight-day session saw a quiet，sad little pirate．
Then something happened on that fifth night．Something at camp that we would call"huge"．
It was cabin night．That's the time when campers and counselors spend lime together in each individual cabin instead of an all-camp activity．Campers love cabin nights because there's always a bedtime snack．On the cabin table that night were bags of potato chips．
David slowly walked over to the table，leaving his comer to join the rest of us．He took one of the bags of the potato chips and started smashing（弄碎） it with his little fists，as all the other campers looked on in disbelief，I wondered what the cabin counselor would do．
The college-age volunteer counselor positioned a bag of chips on die table in front of himself，and he，too，started smashing it with his fist．The campers went crazy as everyone ran to the table to get in on the fun of smashing potato chips with their fists．
Somehow everyone knew，everyone sensed，that anger within him was now being released．
For the last couple days of the session，David was a different kid．He was a little nine-year-old boy again，trying to fill the hours of each remaining day at camp with as much fun as could be possible．
Several days after the session，David came back again．This time，there wasn't anything he wouldn't try to fit in to his day．He sure was having a great time at camp．David asked me if I needed an altar（祭坛）boy when I celebrated Mass in the woods．Sure enough，he was my altar boy．I remembered how carefully he listened to me when I talked about death.1said it's only a doorway．You walk through the door and there's the Lord God and behind God a whole line of people waiting to hug you．
After Mass，he said to me，"Hey Fatha，a door，huh？"
A couple more days of fun passed and tonight was the talent show．The tradition is that campers and counselors dress up in costumes，and everyone gets a standing applause for singing and dancing or simply just acting like fools on stage．
The show had begun：lights，camera，action．
Unfortunately，the only action taking place in our row of seats was little David making his way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp．He had become quite ill and had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis．
When this little nine-year-old pirate stood in front of me，he gave me a hug and a big wet kiss on my cheek.1was crying．He was crying．A whole row of counselors was in tears．After the hug and kiss，he put his hands on my shoulders，and tears still in his eyes，said："See you on the other side of the door，Fatha．"

10．Lie in bed，by an open window，and listen…
"No air conditioning？How can you sleep？"a friend asks，horrified．I tell her my family has decided to shut the air conditioner off and reduce our electric bill．On this first night of our cost-cutting plan，it's only 85degrees．We're going to suffer，but the three kids complain anyway．
They have grown up in 72-degree comfort，protected from the world outside．
"It's too hot to sleep，"my 13-year-old daughter complains．"I'm about to die from this heat，"her brother complains down the hall．"Just try it tonight，"I tell them．In truth I'm too tired to turn for long．My face is sweaty，but I lie quietly listening to the cricket choirs outside that remind me of childhood．
The neighbor's dog howls．Probably a passing squirrel．It's been years since I took the time to really listen to the night．
I think about grandma，who lived to 92and still helped with my mom's gardening until just a few weeks before she died．And then，I'm back there at her house in the summer heat of my childhood．I move my pillow to the foot of grandma's bed and turn my face toward the open window．I turn the pillow，hunting for the cooler side．
Grandma saw me turn over and over．"If you just watch for the breeze（清风），"she said，"you'll cool off and fall asleep．"I stare at the filmy white curtain，willing it to move．Lying still，waiting，I suddenly notice the life outside the window．The bug chorus．Neighbors，porch（门廊）-sitting late，speak in unclear words that calm me．
"Mom，did you hear that？"my seven-year-old son cries，"I think it was an owl（猫头鹰）family．"
"Probably，"I tell him，"just keep listening…"
Without the working air conditioner，the house is peaceful，and the natural night noises seem close enough to touch．I hope I'm awake tonight when the first breeze comes in．

Our government is trying hardly to build an energy-saving society．It is everyone duty to help reach this goal．
However，not everybody have realized the importance of it．For example，sometimes lights and computers are still on after the classes．Some students even forget to turn off the tap after using it and have water running all the time．Usually only one side of our paper is used，caused much waste．
It's time we do something to avoid this kind of waste．Remember to turn off the tap immediately after using it．Make sure that all the lights and other electric facility are turned off when we leave the rooms．What's more，paper should be printed and written on both sides．
In a word，if everybody has the aware of reducing waste and saving energy，we can contribute our society．
