“Two books per visit per week,” said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card. Neither the limits nor her attitude 16 me, a 9 – year – old Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in the 1950s. I needed those visits. The books were filled with stories in which, however 17 things seemed, everything 18 well in the end, 19 justice, bravery, and wisdom –--- a striking contrast (对比) to my everyday experiences.
Thirty years later, I, a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13, stood in front of another librarian. This librarian was 20 .
“What did she say?” I asked my daughter, who already knew a little English and often 21 as my interpreter.
“She said ‘Can I help you?’”
“Ask if they have any books in 22 ,” I requested.
“No, they don’t.” translated my daughter.
While hunting for a job, I was told that the library needed people to 23 books. The interview was short –--- the job didn’t require much English, just a 24 of the alphabet. I started the next day. Every day, I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was 25 from me, mentally dividing them by size and color. One day, while shelving, I found English for Beginners and began studying it on my own. 26 English letters started forming words I could 27 , words combined into phrases, and –--- oh, 28 ! –-- I was reading. It was a slow process, supported by dictionaries and 29 by tears, but it was progress. Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk ----- 30 books in and out and answering simple questions.
Every day I receive dozens of people. Sometimes I spot new immigrants. They come from all over the world, so they look different, but the hesitant expression on their faces and their 31 manners are similar. My heart goes out to them, 32 they are people like me. I fully understand the 33 roads on which they have stepped. “They’ve come to the right place,” I think to 34 . Then I smile and say – just the 35 a librarian said to me a long time ago –--- “Can I help you?”

I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and 36 in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of 37 with every recipe she prepared.
I remember one Saturday morning 38 . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I 39 , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m 40 .”
Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of 41 speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear 42 .”
“But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody. 43 I forget what I’m going to say?”
“Have you prepared 44 ?” asked Grany.
“Well, no. That would be a lot of 45 work.”
“But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.
“I love your soup, Grany.” I said.
“Well, you know, a lot of people don’t 46 homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth（肉汤）and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”
“But I don’t 47 a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be 48 bland（淡而无味的）without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little 49 .”
After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly 50 he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.
While I help Grany 51 , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to 52 my oral report.
That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was 53 with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents, 54 my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work 55 . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.tesoon

A Woman and a Fork

She told him which songs she wanted sung at the 38 , what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave 39 the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There's one more thing," she said 40 . "What' that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn't it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm 41 by the request," said the Rabbi.
The young woman 42 . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of 43 .
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main 44 were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part 45 I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…”
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket（棺材）with a fork in my hand and I want them to 46 "What's with the fork?"47 I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi's eyes were 48 up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of 49 than he did. She had a better grasp of 50 heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork 51 in her right hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he 52 .
During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the 53 he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to 54 . The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the 55 and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.
