4.Garage sales (旧货市场) are a special fun.I am not one of those people who enjoy looking through other people's unwanted things.(1)BWe went to several garage sales and finally stopped at a nice house in the woods.The elderly owner told me that he and his wife were moving away.His wife had been a teacher before she retired.She missed teaching with all her heart.
As we were looking over the things,I heard the gentleman's small,weak wife say her name to someone,and I realized who she was at once.She looked at me and said,"You are Lisa Miller."I watched her in my surprise,for it had been nearly thirty years I had been in her class.
My mother said sorry to her for any trouble I might have caused.She did that because my brother and I were not the sweet kids when we were young.(2)EMy teacher looked at my mother and said,"Oh,no,she was very good,"and my mother watched her in disbelief.
My teacher explained during the last week of school,I brought her a plant from my mother's garden.(3)DShe told us she planted the Lamb's Ear in her garden,and over the years it spread.As I looked down her driveway,I was moved by both sides of Lamb's Ears.She looked at me and said,"Every day when I leave my house and drive up the driveway,I think of you.And when I come home,these plants greet me,and I think of you."(4)FAmong all her Lamb's Ears at her home,there was a piece of mine.
At that moment,she taught me more about life than I could.We give pieces of ourselves every day without thought or expectation.(5)CIn the end it is not the big things that matter,but the small things that make all the difference in the world.
