9．I shook hands with my father in the truck，and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn't say a word．But I knew he was going to say a little to me．"I can't tell anything，"he finally said．"I never went to college，and none of your brothers went to college．I can't say，‘I don't do this and do that'，because everything is different and I don't know what is going to come up．I can't help much with money either，but I think things will work out．"
He gave me a new check-book （支票簿）．"If things get pushing，write a small check．But when you write one，send me a letter and let me know how much．There are some things we can always sell．"In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars．My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers'kids filled in the financial gaps （经济缺口）．
"You know what you want to be，and they'll tell you what to take，"my father went on．"When you get a job，be sure it's honest，and work hard．"I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town，and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you．
Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old，broken Bible （圣经） that he had read so often，the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors．I knew he would miss it．I knew，though，that I must take it．
He didn't say，"Read this every morning．"He just said，"This can help you if you will let it．"
Did it help？I got through college without being a burden （负担） on the family．I have been able to make money since．

7．I had hidden the long black bag in the garage（车库） for the past two days．Tonight，in the dark，I would finally take it away．If everything went OK，it would be done by morning．But I had to be sure no one，not even my wife，saw me．
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected．I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed．It was partly true．But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan．
First I had to get the kids to sleep．That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult．The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early．I told him 10：30pm was not early．As usual，I read them a bed-time story，but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret．
Silence finally came，and feeling like a thief in the night，I went out of the house and into the garage．Taking one end，I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden．I was worried that my neighbors might hear me and call the police．
It was already eleven o'clock．By the light of the moon I started working，trying to make as little noise as possible．And that was not easy with a saw （锯子） and a hammer（铁锤）．
After much effort，my work was finally completed．I looked down at my watch．It was exactly 4：00am．Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep．It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year．
