Two days before Thanksgiving, I was trying to open my mouth wide enough for a mirror and a roll of steel wire. Metal braces (牙齿矫正器)had been on my
31 for weeks, but this was the day for the wire to be adjusted. Only those who have had braces will understand the terrible
32 of being “wired”. For the next 24 hours, it felt like every tooth was being
33 slowly by a giant clawhammer (拔钉锤).
34 drinking water caused pain.
By Thanksgiving Day, I had got used to it.
35 I didn’t use my teeth, the pain was bearable. But this was a day when teeth had to
36 longer than usual. We were
37 at my grandparents’ house with relatives. The house was filled with so many pleasant
38 that we could hardly resist the food. When grandma said, “Dinner is ready!” all the kids
39 to be first in line. I was so excited that I
40 the braces in my mouth and
41 my way up to the head of the line.
I piled my plate high with my favorite corn-on-the-cob(玉米棒子)and
42 my mouth to enjoy it. The pain was
43 . I felt I would never be able to eat again. I put my plate away and ran outside in
44 .
Grandma then took my plate to the
45 . She cut all the corn off that cob and rescued me from my
46 . She handed me my plate piled high with corn. “Thanks,” I said
47 . Then I looked up and
48 a strange light in her eye, a light that is still
49 to me after more than fifty years. That was the Thanksgiving when I discovered something more
50 than good food.
