Be yourself

As a little boy, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and barn provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.

I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since it was my first visit to the farm, I’d wanted to be allowed to climb the stone walls. My parents would never agree. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose. Still, my wish to climb those walls grew so strong. One spring afternoon, taking my courage in both hands, I entered the living room, where the adults had gathered after dinner.

“I, uh, I want to climb the stone walls,”I said in a low voice. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls?” “Heavens, no!” the women in the room cried. “You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed; the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s voice. “Hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”

He said to me with a wink, “Come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”

做你自己

小时候，我最喜欢在爷爷的农场里度过每个星期天的下午。爷爷的农场在宾夕法尼亚州。房子和谷仓四周都围上了绵延几英里的石墙。房子和谷仓给我这个城市男孩带来了无穷的快乐时光。

我仍能记得我8岁那年一天下午的情景。因为我第一次去农场，所以我很想大人们允许我爬上那些石墙。可我的父母是绝不会同意的。这些墙年深日久，有的石头不见了，有的石头松动了。然而，我渴望爬那些墙的愿望非常强烈。一个春天的下午，我鼓足勇气，走进客厅，大人们吃完午饭后都聚在这里。

“我，呃，我想爬石墙，”我低声说道。大家都抬起头。“我能去爬那些石墙吗？” “天哪，不能！”屋里的女人们叫道，“你会伤着自己的！”我并没有太失望，我早就预料到会是这样的回答。但还没等我离开客厅，爷爷的声音叫住了我。“等一会儿，”我听到他说，“让孩子爬那些石墙吧。他必须学会自己做一些事。”

他对我眨眨眼说：“你回来后过来找我。”接下来的两个半小时，我爬上了这些古老的石墙，过得非常愉快。后来，我把自己的冒险经历告诉了爷爷。我永远也不会忘记他说过的话。“弗雷德，”他微笑着说道。“你做了一回自己，你让这个日子变得不同凡响了。永远记住，整个世界只有一个你，而且我喜欢真实的你。”
