25、

It was my first day at school. It was also Miss Caroline’s first day to be a teacher.

Miss Caroline began the day by reading us a story about cats. Then she started to teach us the alphabet (字母表). When Miss Caroline discovered that I was literate (有读写能力的), she said, “Tell your father not to teach you any more. It’s best to begin reading and writing with a fresh mind.”

After supper that night, my father sat down with the paper and called, “Scout, ready to read?” I told him I didn’t feel very well and didn’t think I’d go to school any more if it was all right with him.

“You never went to school and you do all right, so I’ll just stay home too. You can teach me like Grandpa taught you.”

“No, I can’t,” said my father. “I have to make a living. Besides, they’d put me in prison if I kept you at home. Now what’s the matter?”

I told him what happened at school. “Miss Caroline said you taught me all wrong, so we can’t ever read any more. Please don’t send me back, please sir.”

“First of all,” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick (技巧), Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of people. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—”

“Sir?”

“—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

My father continued, “You learned many things today. Miss Caroline learned several things herself. We could not expect her to learn all our ways in one day, and we should understand her when she knew no better.”

“But if I keep on going to school, we can’t ever read any more…”

“That’s really worrying you, isn’t it?”

“Yes, sir.”

When he looked at me, I saw the look on his face that always made me expect something. “Do you know what a compromise (妥协) is?” he asked.

“Breaking the law?”

“No, an agreement. It works this way,” he said. “If you promise me to go to school, we’ll go on reading every night as usual. Is it OK?”

“Yes sir!”

26、Why is the sea salt? Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart.

Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said , “Say, ‘Mill, please grind (磨粉),’ and it’ll make whatever you want; to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding.’”

Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didn’t need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.

Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop.” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.

And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.
