18、r-it was mother，s day, 1946-dora had never received such a gift; she had no finery except her wedding ring- speechless, she smiled radiantly and gathered her son into her arms-1945年，一個12歲的男孩在一家商店櫥窗里看到一樣令他心動的 東西，但是一一5美元遠不是魯本厄爾能付得起的。5美元幾乎夠買全 家一周的食品呢。魯本不能向父親要錢。馬克-厄爾的每一分錢都是靠在加拿大紐芬 蘭的羅伯茨灣捕魚掙來的。魯本的母親多拉，為了

19、不讓五個孩子凍著 餓著，差不多是一個錢當兩個錢用。即使如此，魯本還是推開商店那扇久經(jīng)風雨的門走了進去。他穿著面粉袋改做的襯衫和洗得褪了色的褲子，站得筆直，絲毫不覺困窘。他告訴了店主他想要的東西，又加上一句：“可我現(xiàn)在還沒有錢買它, 您能為我預(yù)留一段時間嗎？ ”“我盡量吧，”店主微笑著說，“這兒的人買起東西來，一般不 會花那么大一筆錢的，一時半會兒賣不出去。”魯木很有禮貌地碰了碰他的舊帽沿兒，走出店外。陽光下清新的 微風吹得羅伯茨灣的海水泛起陣陣漣漪。魯木邁著大步，下定決心：他 要湊齊那5美元，而且不告訴任何人。聽到街邊傳來的鐵錘聲，魯木有了主意。他循聲跑過去，來到一處建筑工地。羅伯茨灣的人喜歡

20、自己建房， 用的釘子是從本地一家工廠買的，都用麻袋來裝。有時干活時忙亂中麻 袋就被隨手丟棄，而魯木知道他能夠5分錢一條把麻袋再賣給工廠。那 天，他找了兩條麻袋，拿到雜亂的木材廠，賣給為釘子裝袋的人。兩公里的路程他是一路跑著回的家，手里緊緊攥著兩個5分硬幣。他家旁邊有個頗有年頭的谷倉，里面圈著家里的山羊和雞。魯本 在那里找到一個生銹的裝蘇打的鐵罐，把兩枚硬幣放了進去。然后，他 爬上谷倉的閣樓，把鐵罐藏在一堆散發(fā)著甜香味的干草下面。晚飯時分，魯本跨進家門。父親正坐在廚房大餐桌旁擺弄漁網(wǎng), 多拉在灶臺邊忙碌著，準備開飯。魯本就在桌邊坐下了。他看著媽媽，笑了。窗戶透進的夕陽余暉將她棕褐的披肩發(fā)染成了金

21、色。苗條、美麗的母親是這個家的中心，她像膠水一樣使這個家緊 緊粘結(jié)在一起。母親的家務(wù)活永遠也沒個完。用老式的“勝家”縫紉機為一家人 縫縫補補；要做飯 烤而包；要照料菜園；要擠羊奶；還要在洗衣板 上 搓洗臟衣服。可母親是快樂的，全家人的幸福、健康在她心中是最重要 的。每天放學(xué)，做完家務(wù)事后，魯本就在鎮(zhèn)上搜尋裝釘子的麻袋。只 有兩間教室的學(xué)校開始放暑假的那天，沒人能比魯木更高興了。現(xiàn)在他 有更多時間去完成他的使命。整整一個夏天，魯木除了干家務(wù)一一給菜園鋤草、澆水，砍柴和 打水外，始終實行著他的秘密任務(wù)。轉(zhuǎn)眼菜園里該采收了，蔬菜被裝罐腌制后儲藏，學(xué)校也開學(xué)了。再 不久，樹葉飄零，海灣吹起陣陣寒風。魯本在街頭徘徊，努力尋找著被 他視為寶物的麻袋。他經(jīng)常是饑寒交迫，疲憊不堪，但是一想到商店櫥窗里
