she was getting her things "in order", she asked her pastor (牧师) to come to her house to discuss her final
wishes. With everything in order, the pastor was ready to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered
something very important to her.
"What"s that?" asked the pastor.
"I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing what to say.
"That surprises you, doesn"t it?" the young woman asked.
"Well, to be honest, I"m puzzled by the request," said the pastor.
The young woman explained, "In all my years of going to church meetings and dinners, I remember that
when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would always lean over and say, "Keep your
fork." It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming, like chocolate cake or apple
pie,some dessert like that. Something wonderful! I just want people to see me there in that casket (棺材) with
a fork so that when they ask you why I have a fork, you can tell them: "Keep your fork-the best is yet to
come.""
The pastor hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew that the young woman had a better grasp of
heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with
twice as much experience and knowledge.
At the funeral people were walking by the young woman"s casket and they saw the pretty dress she was
wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard the question "Why does she
have a fork?" And over and over again he smiled.
So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it reminded you of this young woman gently. Send the
message to everyone you consider a friend even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you.

| Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors. When I was three, my parents flashed cards with Chinese 1 at my face, but I pushed them 2 . My mom believed I would learn 3 I was ready. But the 4 never came. On a Chinese New Year"s Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but all I could do was 5 at him, confused, scratching my head. "Still can"t speak Chinese?" He 6 me, "You can"t even buy a fish in Chinatown." "Hey, this is America, not China. I"ll get some 7 with or without Chinese." I replied and turned to my mom for 8 . "Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu," she said, handing over a $20 bill. I 9 the words, running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown. I found the fish 10 surrounded in a sea of customers. "I"d like to buy some fresh fish," I should to the fishman. But he 11 my English words and turned to serve the next customer. The laugh of the people behind increased 12 their impatience. With every 13 , the breath of the dragons (龙) on my back grew stronger-my blood boiling- 14 me to cry out. "Xian Sheng Yu, please." "Very Xian Sheng," I repeated. The crowd erupted into laughter. My face turned 15 and I ran back home 16 , except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket. Should I laugh or cry? They"re Chinese. I should feel right at 17 . Instead, I was the joke, a disgrace (丢脸) to the language. Sometimes, I laugh at my fish 18 , but, in the end, the joke is on 19 . Every laugh is a culture 20 ; every laugh is my heritage (传统) fading away. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
