"Get up! Get up !"my mother whispers . My eyes flash open in the predawn gra
y . Sleepily , I look around the screened-in porch of our family's log cabin
, where we spend our summer weeks . I take in the dock-green porch swing ,
the birch-leg table , the twin bed where my sister sleeps , the smoky glass
of the kerosene lantern . My face feels the coolness of the early-morning ai
r .
I relax and curl deeper beneath the blankets' warmth .
"Get up !" my mother whispers again . "The sunrise is glorious !" Carefu
l not to let the screen door slam , she sets off down to the lake .
Get up to see the sunrise ?The last thing this 14-year-old wants to do i
s leave a warm bed to see the sun rise . It's freezing out there .
My 17-year-old sister pushes back her covers and sits up . I make a supr
eme effort and struggle out too . We grab my father's World WAR II army blan
kets and wrap them tightly around our cotton nighties . Our pace is quick .
One of us misses catching the screen door .it slams .
Gingerly , we pick our way over slippery rocks and prickly pine needles
, down 49 dewcovered log steps to the shore . We catch our breath and look u
p . Across the lake , a sliver of brilliant red crests the top of the shadow
ed forest . It silhouettes our mother on the lake shore , the first light ca
tching the soft red of her hair .

聪明的人喜欢猜心
虽然每次都猜对了却失去了自己的心
傻气的人喜欢给心
虽然每次都被笑了却得到了别人的心
