          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

    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
