It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.　　In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.　　After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rushhour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.　　“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?”　　I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”　　He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”　　My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes.

Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me selfesteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.　　When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.　　The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴樹枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.　　1.

He was not my grandfather, but an Italian who came down the road one day, selling fruit in Florida.　　Jack stopped at my grandmother’s house to sell her some oranges just a stone’s throw from downtown Miami, and he was delivering her whiskey a week later. He stayed for thirty years. Jack hated the front yard because he thought it was against him. There had been a beautiful lawn(草坪) there when Jack came along, but he let it wander off into nothing. He refused to water it or take care of it in any way.　　Now the ground was so hard that it gave his car flat tires(輪胎) in the summer. The yard was always finding a nail to put in one of his tires or the car as always sinking out of sight in the winter when the rains came on.
