I have forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper run when Iwas a twelve- year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I can only hope to pass on to someone else someday.
On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady's house from a spot in her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles (导弹) as they rolled to the roof edge and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星) falling from the sky.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back porch. At the sound of glass being broken, we too off from the old lady's yard faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof. I was too scared about getting caught that first night.
However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window.
