Dad taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times. I remembered one of his lessons one night when I was ready to quit(退出)a political movement I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.
Tired, feeling the many months of struggle, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer when I turned up one of Dad's old business cards that he was so proud of:Andrea Cuomo, Italian- American Groceries- Fine Imported Products. Then I thought about how he dealt with difficult situation. A lot of pictures appeared into my mind, but one spot came sharply into view.
We had just moved to Holliswood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even trees . One, in particular, was a great blue spruce(云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.
Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible storm . We came home from the store that night to find the spruce pulled almost totally from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce,our hearts sank . But not Dad's.
The rain was falling . Then he announced, "OK, we're going to push him up!" "What are you talking about, Dad? The roots are out of the ground ! ""Shut up, we're going o push him up, he's going to grow again. "We couldn't say no to him. So we followed him into the house and we got what rope there was and we tied the rope around the top of the tree that lay on the street, and he stood up by the house, with me pulling on the rope and Frankie in the street in the rain, helping to push up the great blue spruce. In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again! Dad drove stakes (木桩) in the ground, tied rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, "Don’t worry, he is going to grow again…"
I looked at the card and wanted to cry. I couldn't wait , to get back into the movement. 展开
