I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard （果园）, looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe（成熟的）.Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie, and how I used t o make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie ever since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.

The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down.

“Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you？” I stand up, tak e his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees, and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.

He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know, Sophie,” he says, “I spent the morning in the attic（阁楼）, and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe（烹饪法）for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes.I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try？”

“But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.

“That’s true,” he says, “but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say？” I nod yes, a nd we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

Last Saturday, my 8-year-old son, Chase, and I were shopping in a supermarket. Chase was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables I collected. I handed him a bag of tomatoes and he walked over to the scale and waited patiently in line. Suddenly, an old man walked up behind Chase, and stepped before him, bumping Chase out of the way. Chase looked shocked and scared. Seeing this, I left my shopping cart and walked over to Chase, saying loudly, “Are you all right, honey？ I saw what that man did to you. That was v ery, very wrong.”

When the man finished weighing his bag, he turned around too quickly and all of his onions spilled out of his bag and onto the dirty floor. The three of us froze for a moment. Then I got down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions while the old man accepted them from my hands and put them back into his bag. After Chase and I retrieved all the onions, the old man walked away. We didn’t discuss the event until we got back in the car.

On the way home, Chase said through tears, “Mommy, I’ve a frustrating day. That man cut right in front of me. And we had to help him pick up his onions! Why did we do that？ That didn’t make any sense.”

I took a deep breath and said, “Chase, that man seemed to have a very bad mood today. We should forgive him. I was also angry with that man for treating you rudely. I really wanted to kick him. But doing that doesn’t make any sense. If we hadn’t helped that old man, we might have felt good for a moment, but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time. You

and I have a lot of love to share. Maybe that man doesn’t have much. People who behave badly still need love.”

A cheerful smile appeared on Chase’s face. It was a smile of a promise kept. It was the best smile I have ever seen. God, it was a good moment. It may have been my best mommy moment ever.
