Looking out of the window of our new house, I was impressed with the colorful leaves that had dropped onto our yard from the neighbor’s tree. Then, I noticed an old gentleman raking in his yard. Feeling energized by the coolness of the fall, I came outside with my son Sam and started to rake leaves in our yard.
Just then, I saw the old man leave his house and get into his car. I waved happily at him, smiling, while he simply gave me an icy look before turning his back. “That’s unfriendly,” Sam said.
Then two boys stopped by, introducing themselves as our neighbors. They helped us rake our leaves, making a large pile in our yard. While we were taking a rest, they warned us about “Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts”. They told us they were walking to the school bus one day, and, on a whim, they jumped into the leaves that Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts had raked into a sweet mountain next to the bus pickup. The old man had hidden dog shit in the leaves. “I guess he doesn’t want anyone to jump into his leaves,” I said. Rolling their eyes, they said, “He doesn’t want anyone in his life.”
After they left, I wondered how I would feel if I was old and alone. Sam and I decided to befriend Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts. Carrying cookies, we went to visit him. We knocked twice and put smiles on our faces. “What do you want?” he asked, as if we were selling him something. We introduced ourselves and offered him the cookies. But he refused and closed his door.
A few days later, it was time to do more raking. The neighbor’s tree had dropped so many leaves that it took us long to finish our yard, but I wanted our pile to be bigger so the kids could play for more fun. So I walked to Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts’ door, asking, “May we rake your yard?” He looked quite surprised but said, “I suppose so, but I will not be paying you anything.”

#老人突
然笑着说
Thank you
"We should
be kind to
the elderly
and the kids
our yard."
太俗套

忽略伏笔
转变太突兀

碰他树叶的伏笔
→有层次
没有人天生是刺猬,
他只是还没遇到愿意
把他的落叶带回家的人。
The best way to reach someone is to bring their leaves
- and their loneliness-into your own yard.
