This morning I got an email from Roy. It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University. The 1 made me think of the first day when we moved into this house.
Little Roy ran around the new house with great excitement and 2 to move his own things into the house, such as his toys, books and clothes. 3his little hand knocked over a bottle of paint on the shelves. The paint 4 the tidy floor and the white wall a terrible mess. "Oh, my God!" My wife rushed in angrily. I looked at my son and his small face was filled with5.
I 6 and held his hand. "Take it easy, Roy. Now let's do something to make it look7." I took out a 8. "You see, Dad is a magician. I can change it 9 a big tree."
His mother soon helped paint some butterflies and flowers on the wall.
We spent the whole morning 10 and laughing. The wall 11 a beautiful forest with plants, birds and small animals. A blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy. On that day, everybody in the house knew something12 happened.
The night before Roy left for Harvard, he asked me if I still remembered the day 13 he had knocked over the paint. "Since then I've 14 worried about making mistakes," he continued, "I believe I can always15ways to solve the problems."
When I was finishing my tour in Iraq, my parents provided a vacation as a Christmas gift. "London,"I said. They seemed a bit surprised: I grew up there. Why didn't I choose a foreign place? I told them I wanted to go somewhere cold and wet after seven weeks in the desert. At that time this made sense(讲得通), but 10 years later, I've realised I wanted to return for a different reason: South Bank.
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London, on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family was comfortable living in this city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt lost and out of place, until I found something.
South Bank is the centre of British skateboarding. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language, and my favourite: Safe. Safe meant "cool". It meant"hello". It meant"don't worry about it". Once, when trying a certain skill, I fell onto the stones, and Toby came over, helping me up, "Safe, man. Safe." A few minutes later, when I landed the skill, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting,"Safe! Safe! Safe!"And that's the important thing —landing skills, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London years later, I found myself walking slowly down to South Bank for hours. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Then a teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, sat next to me. He seemed not to notice me. But soon I caught a few of his glances. "I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head, "Safe, man. Safe."
"Yeah,"I said. "Safe."
