My mom only had one eye. I hated her. I am always angry about it. She cooks dinner for students and teachers. One day at school, my mother sees me and says hello to me. I am so unhappy! How can she do this? I turn back and run away. The next day at school one of my classmates says, “EEEE, your mother only has one eye!” I don’t know what to say. I wish my mother to just get away. I say to her at home, “If you’re only going to make others laugh at me, just die.” She doesn’t say a word.

Many years later, I have family in another city. Then one day, my mother comes to visit me. When she stands at the door, my children laugh at her. I shout, “GET AWAY!NOW!” “Oh, I’m sorry. I have the wrong address(地址).”She says. A few years later, she dies. Somebody gives me a letter from my mother. It reads: “My dearest son, I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I should not go to your house and…You see, when you are very young, you lose your eye in a car accident. As a mother, I give you mine. I am glad you can see a whole world for me with that eye. With all my love to you. Your mother. ”
