Question

He came again the next day and worked until it was time to leave. His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children's Home(孤儿院)since he was only four. \ I thought of him. He was honest(诚实). For example the handle (柄) of the ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Children's Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldn't take the money. "I'll pay for it mama. I broke it. I didn't hit the wood in the right place. "
"But Jerry no one hits the wood in the right place all the time. And it was a weak handle. I'll speak to the seller. " It was only then that he would take the money.
Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example he found a hole near the fireplace. "I'll put some wood in the hole mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴风雨)comes up you can stay warm. "
One cold day Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before. "You look like my mother especially(特别) next to the fire"
But you were four Jerry 'when you came to live at the Children's Home. Do you still remember your mother?"
