I lived in an orphanage(孤儿院）when I was 8. A gentleman came and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project ---a small table. I was so of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(n) . It had taken me six weeks to it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always with us.
As the tables were not dry, the man told us to wait a few days. But I was just so and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a carrying my table.
When I was it in the dormitory, Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’ma,”I with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I opened the door to get it back. There was stuck all over. I brushed and cried.
I hid the table in my closet and never it. After cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管员), thinking that she would it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her to get something. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
Mother Henderson still kept the little table!
Today, I look at that table with bitter-sweet memories but full of to Mother Henderson, who kept it for an orphan who tried very hard to himself.
