The house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches—but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight. Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way...

A Woman and a Fork
There was a young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only live three months. So as she was getting her things "in order," she   36  her Rabbi (法师)and had him  come to her house to   37  certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the   38 , what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave   39  the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There"s one more thing," she said   40 . "What" that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn"t it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I"m   41  by the request," said the Rabbi.
The young woman   42 . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of   43 
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main   44 were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, "Keep your fork." It was my favorite part   45  I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…”
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork in my hand and I want them to   46 "What"s with the fork?"  47  I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi"s eyes were   48  up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of   49  than he did. She had a better grasp of   50 heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman"s casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork   51  in her right  hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What"s with the fork?" And over and over he   52 .
During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the   53  he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to   54 . The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the   55  and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.
