I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case.

One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket.
When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was

fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever.
Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold.

If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes.
The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer.

I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. There it was our very own pumpkin. Its face was proudly decorated with a blue silk ribbon, signifying (表示) our second place in the contest. A sudden urge to come clean (全盘招供;和盘托出) overwhelmed me. I admitted to Brian that we had indeed secured the second position in the Halloween pumpkin-carving competition. Brian flashed a grin and scratched his head (咧嘴一笑,挠了挠头). Eyes twinkling with playfulness (眼中闪着顽皮的光), he disclosed the truth (揭开真相). As the school newspaper photographer, he had taken that picture the next day after the contest. It hit me like a punch (如遭重击): He’d known about our win all along.

“You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian glanced down at (低头看) his half-packed suitcase then up at me. He admitted that constantly relying on me had always made him feel small, and he was supposed to (理应) be the bigger brother. I’d never really thought about how he felt. I was just the big bodyguard for poor Brian. I was so caught up in my role that I never saw it from his perspective. “I just wanted to do the same for you.” Brian interrupted my thoughts. “To be the real bigger brother, for a change.” We sat silently on his bed, realizing we were more than just siblings; we were each other’s guardian angel (我们静坐在他的床沿,意识到:我们不仅是兄弟,更是彼此的守护天使).
