(E)
When I was a little boy, my mom and I went to my grandmother’s house in the next town. It was a warm summer afternoon, so I went outside to play in the yard while they all sat around the kitchen table to talk.
After an hour, I got bored and walked inside to see what they were doing. On the kitchen table was a large homemade quilt that was still being sewn(缝) together. Pieces of colorful cloth (布料) were everywhere. I sat on a chair and watched as my grandmother sewed a little piece of cloth onto the quilt with a pained look on her face. I saw a piece of thread(线) sticking out. Without thinking, I reached over to pull it.
“No!” It was my grandmother’s voice. I jumped back. That was the first time I can ever remember her shouting at me. Seeing the scared look on my face, she smiled and showed me why she did that. That single piece of thread wove(穿行) in and out of the different pieces of cloth. Like a twisting(弯曲的) road, it made its way from one end of the quilt to the other. If I pulled it, I would have pulled the quilt apart and ruined(毁掉) hours of work.
As I look back on that moment today, I can see that each of our lives is a lot like that thread in the quilt. We are each a single piece of thread, but the other threads around us help hold everything together. That’s our purpose - help and support the people around us.
