　　t I wonder about my Momma sometimes，and all the other Negro(blacks)mothers who got up at 6 a．m．to go to the white man’s house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold．I wonder how they made it．They worked very hard for the man，they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies．They didn’t have too much time for us．

　　wonder about my Momma，who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months，and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall．She’s have to make deals with the rats： leave some food out for them so they wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies．The roaches(蟑螂)? Oh，hey were just like part of the family!

　　wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate，to wash their hands after they finish bathroom．She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home．

　　wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have．Momma would cry all night，and them go out and spend most of the rent money for pills．A week later，the white man would come for his eighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow．She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her．Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat，and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat．And when he finally went away，Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor．

　　Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before．However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady．The old lady climbed in through the car door, and pushed her big brown shopping bag down under her feet．She said in almost a whisper,“Thank you, dear-I’m just going to Brockbourne．”

　　Something in the way the lady spoke made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker．She didn’t know why, but she felt instinctively(直觉上)that there was something wrong, something…dangerous．But how could an old lady be dangerous?It was strange．

　　Careful not to turn her head, Andrea looked sideways at her passenger．She studied the hat, the dirty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, the arms with their thick black hairs

　　It did．The passenger slowly climbed out to have a look．Hardly was she out of the car, Andrea drove madly away, and soon she put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker．

　　It was only then that she thought about the bag．Maybe the bag would provide some information about what she was．Pulling into the side of the road, Andrea opened the heavy bag curiously．

　　It contained only one item-a small hand axe, with a sharp blade．The axe, and the inside of the bag, were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood．

　　During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom．

　　Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food．Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked．I really admired Tiffany．My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself．I was annoyed with her．

　　Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom．"Every time, my morn would calmly say "Poor Tiffany"．I couldn't understand her．"She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought．"She should be feeling sorry for me．"

　　One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears．

　　My mom sat down next to me and said softly．"Yes, I do feel sorry for her．I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught．"

　　I looked up at her．"What are you talking about?"

　　Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something．Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it．Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything．"

　　She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want．You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't．You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't．When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got．Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food．"

　　It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom's words．Now I am a happy and successful woman．
