Recently, I happened to hear a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter prepared to leave.
They hugged and the mother said “I love you and I wish you enough.” They kissed and the daughter left.
The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she was going to cry. I tried not to disturb her but she welcomed me by asking “Have you ever said goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
“Yes,” I replied. “But may I know why this is the final goodbye?”
“I am ill and she lives so far away. It’s highly possible that the next trip back will be for my funeral(葬礼)” she said.
“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”
“That’s a wish that has been handed down from past generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” She paused for a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.
“When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to be with them”. Then turning to me, she shared the following:
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
“I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.” What did the mother mean by saying it was a “forever goodbye”?
| A．She will never leave her daughter far away. |
| B．The goodbye will last forever in their hearts. |
| C．Her daughter has never said goodbye to her before. |
| D．She won’t get to see her daughter before her death. |

| B．The woman couldn’t remember the details. |
| C．It is used by children to show their love for their parents. |
| D．It is a secret wish shared by the woman and her daughter. |

It was Mary’s birthday. She got a letter from her uncle who was a farmer.
“Dear Mary,” the letter said. “Happy Birthday. I am sending you some chickens as your birthday present. They will arrive tomorrow. I hope you like them. Best wishes, Uncle Toby.
Mary was very pleased. She liked eating eggs and she liked eating chicken. “I can keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them,” she thought. When the chickens arrived the next day, they were in the box. Mary was very excited. She took the box off the back of the truck and began to carry it into her garden. However, the box of chickens was heavy and she dropped it. The box fell to the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran everywhere－into neighbors' gardens, into the road, into shops, even into the next street. Mary spent hours trying to find them and take them back to her garden.
A few days later her uncle came to visit her. “Did the chickens arrive safely?" he asked Mary. “Yes, Uncle Toby,” Mary said. “But I had a lot of trouble with them. I dropped the box. It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere. I spent the whole morning looking for them." “Did you find them all?” her uncle asked. “I hope so,” Mary replied. “I caught eleven of them.” “That's very interesting,” her uncle said with a smile, “because I only sent you six.
