I saw my grandfather’s truck and thought, Granddad shouldn’t have to drive such an ugly truck. Then I spied a gallon of paint. Idea! I got a brush and painted white polka dots all over the truck. I was on the roof finishing the job when he walked up, looking as if he were in a trance. 那年我四岁，正在肯塔基州户外玩耍的时候，看见了祖父的卡车。我心想它实在是太丑了。就这个时候，我看见了一桶涂料。好主意！我拿了刷子把整个卡车表面都涂满了白色的圆点花纹。当我正在车顶做收尾工作的时候，祖父愣愣的走过来。 “Angela, that’s the prettiest truck I’ve ever seen!” Sometimes I think adults don’t stop to see things through a child’s eyes. He could have crushed me. Instead, he lifted my little soul. “Angela，这是我见过最漂亮的卡车！”有的时候我会觉得，大人们从来不曾停下来看看孩子眼中的世界。可是，祖父明明可以打骂我一顿。相反地，他却守护了我内心的小世界。
