Question

C

       We were standing at the top of a church tower.

       Look down,Elsa ,” Father said. I looked down and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw many twisting,turning streets leading to the square.

      “See,my dear ,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road,try another."

       Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day,I told my mother about the awful lunches in my school and asked her to do something. She re fused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

       When I turned to my father for help,he brought me to this high tower to teach me a lesson. By the time we reached home,I had had a plan.

       At school the next day,I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. When my mother swallovued one spoonful_y she sputtered. “The cook must be mad!”

       I told her all about it. Quickly,my mother said that she would do something about the lunches at school the next day.

       In the years that followed,I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. His wise words always guided me. There is more than one way to the square —always.
