I fetched my mail as usual. Suddenly a colorful flyer (传单) jumped into my sight. In the middle was a drawing of an old-fashioned phone, like the one my great-aunt Sara owned 40 years ago and at the bottom was a phone number. Running over it, I couldn't help laughing.
"Is that mail funny?" my ten - year - old daughter, Jenny, asked.
"Not really," I admitted. "It's about the wake-up service. Outdated already."
"What's that?" she frowned (皱眉). I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.
"Who sent this flyer?" she pressed.
I shook my head. "Probably someone older and he could need some money," I said.
Her eyes lit up. "Can we order a wake-up service?" she asked.
"No kidding. With smart phones at hand, who will need it? And it's not cheap at all. $ 2.5 per day." I picked up the flyer and headed for the recycling bin.
"Wait!" she shouted.
"I feel sorry for the wake - up man, if he needs some money," she said in tears. "Can't we order?"
I looked at the flyer with its drawing of an old - fashioned phone. I remembered, again, my great - aunt Sara and her old phone. As a kid, I used to visit her over Labor Day when Jerry Lewis would host his charity (慈善) event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would grasp my hand tightly and then reach for the telephone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we'd announce to the operator, "We'd like to help those kids."
But now here was my own child, showing the same heart I had once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore (不理睬) her? I googled the flyer's telephone number. The number belonged to a man called Raymond.
