I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the
8、 village. And I saw the crisscross (纵横交错) of streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.” Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that da
9、y I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school.

Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By th
10、e time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, “The cook must have gone bad!” Quickly I told he
11、r what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would deal with the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the following years I often remembered the lesson Father taught me.

15、 offices in a big building.She was trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts(工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, f
16、rom 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “Its better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.”The hours shes chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband.
17、However, she doesnt think that puts any pressure(压力)on their relationship.Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs.

18、 more careful.”The fact that shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all.

We al
