Backfire!

Actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.

George Washington

It was spring at last. The sun was high in a cloudless sky. Birds sang. Flowers bloomed. Best of all, it was Saturday--a perfect day to be out playing with friends. The problem was, we’d only been in town two months so I hadn’t made any friends. My family moved a lot. It’s hard when you’re always the new kid on the block.

So, here I was, stuck with my baby brother John and Mary, the new sitter, while Mom and Dad were out of town on business. It was not going to be a fun day!

Just as we started lunch, the phone rang. I hopped up to answer it. “Hello, Morrell’s residence. Lou speaking.”

“Hi, Lou. It’s Alicia.”

My heart did a rapid pit-a-pat-pat. “Alicia Whitman?”

She giggled. “You know another Alicia?”

“No.” There was only one Alicia: the most popular, prettiest, richest girl in my class.

“I called to invite you over to my house this afternoon. We can ride my horse.”

“Hang on. I’ll ask.” Heart racing, I ran to the kitchen. “Mary, can I go play with my friend Alicia this afternoon?”

Mary was trying to scoop peas off the floor faster than my brother dropped them. “Where does she live?”

“Only a few blocks from here,” I said, picturing the fancy brick house that we passed on our way home from school. I held my breath.

“Would your mom let you go?”

“Sure, she would. Please, Mary. Please, please, please.”

John dumped the whole dish from his highchair.

“Oh, all right,” Mary said with a sigh.

I rushed back to the phone ”Alicia, I can come. What time?”

“One o’clock?”

“Great. See ya then.”

I was so excited I could hardly breathe. I was going to hang out with Alicia Whitman! Ride her horse. Every girl in class wanted to be Alicia’s friend.

“Come eat your lunch,” Mary called.

I’m not hungry. I have to get ready.

I chose my outfit very carefully: my best shorts, clean T-shirt and brand-new shoes. I even washed my face and combed the tangles out of my hair. When I was satisfied, I called, “I’m going now, Mary.”

I set off. The sun beat down on my back and bounced off the sidewalk. Cars and trucks swished by on the highway. I did’t care about the heat or the noise. I was too busy daydreaming about the possibility of becoming good friends with Alicia. I’d liked Alicia from the first day. We were a lot alike. We both loved to read. Our hands were the first up to answer questions. We mostly got A’s. We both liked to play sports, although Alicia was always picked first and me last. And we both were horse-crazy. I just knew we could be best friends—if we had a chance.

The sidewalk stretched on forever and ever. It hadn’t seemed this far in the car! My shirt was getting sweaty and one heel in my new shoes hurt like crazy. I stopped and pulled down my sock. A big, fat blister had bubbled up. Youch! I kept going, walking on my tippytoes. It couldn’t be that much farther now, could it?

Several blocks later, across the highway, I saw the meadow with Alicia’s horse, Buttercup, in it. Now all I had to do was cross four lanes of traffic. I sure hoped I wasn’t late!

Cars and trucks whizzed past me. I waited the longest time for a break. When it came, I made a mad dash to the other side. Whew! I was there.

The Whitman house was surrounded by big, old trees. The cool shade felt wonderful. I smoothed my hair and my shorts. My mouth was dry. I hoped Alicia would offer me a cold drink right away. I walked up to the front door and rang the bell.

No one answered.

I rang again, then knocked. No one came to the door.

Maybe they were out back? I walked around on the brick walk. There were no cars in the

driveway. No one on the fancy rock terrace either. I knocked on the back door.

Nobody came.

Alicia’s tree house was empty, too. I climbed up to check. Except for Buttercup, the whole place was deserted!

I couldn’t believe it. Had I heard Alicia wrong? Didn’t she say today? Why would she invite me and leave? Maybe she’d gone to pick me up? That was it! Alicia didn’t walk to school or ride the bus. A shiny black car brought her and was waiting when school was out. She wouldn’t expect me to walk all the way out here. We’d just missed each other.

Happily, I went back and sat on the front steps. I waited and waited and waited. It got later and later. No Alicia. No Whitmans. Nobody came.

I sat there with my head in my hands, growing more disappointed and confused by the minute. I finally decided that Alicia wasn’t coming, so I got up and trudged home. I was ashamed of myself. I’d been so hungry for a friend that I’d fallen for her mean trick.

By Monday morning my shame had turned to anger. Being pretty and popular didn’t give

someone the right to trick people! I spotted Alicia on the playground, surrounded by the usual group of girls. I pushed my way into the circle. “What you did was mean, Alicia Whitman. I don’t want to be your friend, now or ever!” I stomped away.

“Wait!” Alicia cried. “What did I do?”

Right there, in front of God and all her friends, I told her.

Alicia was shaking her head. “I didn’t call you, Lou. It wasn’t me. We were out of town all weekend.”

Someone giggled and said, “Miss Brainiac got fooled.”

I ignored the name-caller. “Then who called me, Alicia? Who played that dirty trick?”

Alicia looked around the group. Her gaze stopped on Morgan, who was trying to hide the fact that she was laughing to herself. “It was a dirty trick, Lou. I don’t know who did it—for sure. But that person’s no friend of mine.”

Morgan turned bright red. “It was just a joke. Can’t you take a joke, Lou?”

“Some jokes aren’t funny. Right, you guys?” Alicia said, t(來自:www.newchangjing.com 蒲公英文摘:英語心靈雞湯短文)aking my arm.

“Everyone nodded and closed in behind Alicia and me. Morgan’s hurtful joke backfired. We all walked away, leaving her standing alone on the playground.

活在當下，珍惜你我

生命的車輪緩緩轉(zhuǎn)了三十幾圈。再過幾年，就要從而立步入不惑了，想想都有些不可思議，覺得自己一直還沒長大。在三十幾年的輪回中，有一些懵懂，一絲迷惑，一些領悟，一些感受，拿來和大家分享分享吧！ 生命中有一些人與我們擦肩了，卻來不及遇見；遇見了，卻來不及相識；相識了，卻來不及熟悉；熟悉了，卻還是要再見。對自己好

心若放寬，時時都是晴天

心若計較，處處都有怨言；心若放寬，時時都是春天。讓心成為一片海，就要有容納百川的度量，就是要有容人容己的心態(tài)。容得了委屈，容得了不完美，容得別人之過，容得了自己之短。這樣，心中才能裝得下生命的波瀾壯闊。 偉大的詞人蘇軾曾經(jīng)說過人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，沒有誰的一生是順風順水的。即使選擇遺忘過去，那些傷

人，天地過客，一切隨緣

有些人，似荷，只能遠觀；有些人，如茶，可以細品； 有些人，像風，不必在意；有些人，是樹，安心依靠。 人生就是一場修行，心柔順了，一切就安定了； 心清凈了，生活就美好了；心快樂了，幸福就來到了。 一切隨緣 人生，不過一杯茶， 滿也好，少也好，爭個什么； 濃也好，淡也好，自有味道； 急也好，緩也好，那又如何； 暖也好

這世上最難看清的，是人心！

你很想看清人心， 誰是虛偽，誰又是認真； 你很想摸透感情， 誰是假意，誰又是誠懇。 都害怕付出的真心， 被刻上了一道道傷痕； 我們都擔心深愛著的

別讓幸福，從指縫間悄悄溜走

人生活在世間，就是為了尋找幸福而來的。在這個喧囂紛繁的社會，幸�；蛘卟恍腋５娜藗儯�都在奔波的腳步中尋找那份說不清道不明的幸福。 在我們的生活當中，煩惱就如同疾馳而過的列車一般，一次次地將幸福一帶而過。痛苦、無奈總是不請自來，讓你對生活失去信心、對前途迷茫不已，于是就有人開始尋找幸福。 幸福，其實是一種感覺

忘記朋友的傷害，銘記朋友的關愛

早上好。世間真摯的友情難能可貴，但很多人可能會由于某種誤會、疏忽或者別的什么原因，與原本很好的朋友鬧了矛盾，此時若雙方耿耿于懷，則誤會可能越來越深，從此老死不相往來。 其實，朋友間的傷害往往是無心的，如果因為這種無心的傷害而失去彼此，那不僅是一種遺憾，而且是一種悲哀。因此，與朋友相處，要善于忘懷與朋友之

讓心變?nèi)彳�，愛就有力�?/p>

愛，是所有生命的標準答案。但我們在尋找愛的同時也需要一顆柔軟的心。 不管是工作還是生活，有時會突然發(fā)現(xiàn)似乎很多事情的發(fā)展都停滯不前了，感覺自己處處受挫，不管多么努力，日子始終沒有太大的進展。人生的停滯有時也是思想的停滯，生活的停頓。 當一個人心胸不夠柔軟時，就會處處碰壁，凡事都無法前進。 當你的心夠柔軟時

這一輩子……你笑過，你也哭過

當夕陽的余暉浸染天際，我的發(fā)絲在霞紅中舞動，我知道一天就這樣悄無聲息地結束了。日復一日，年復一年，也會青絲染雪，也會皺紋滋生。當青春已不在，日子在沉淀中噴涌著某種情緒，訴說著一路的滄桑與輾轉(zhuǎn)。你可以淡定，你可以慌張，你能夠用生命詮釋這一路的風景有多少魅力價值。 其實，人這一輩子，幾多感慨，幾多豪情，無奈

別讓你的人生，毀在仨瓜倆棗上

馬未都有次提到家里的一個保姆，挺有意思：她有時會偷偷拿他家的東西，也不拿值錢的，就是一頭蒜，兩片姜，半瓶花生米什么的。馬老師發(fā)現(xiàn)后，就跟保姆說，你喜歡或者需要什么，說一聲再拿就不為過，反正有些東西他也用不完。但保姆不說，也不改，該拿還是悄悄拿。這讓馬老師很煩，而且不放心，萬一哪天順走件文物呢？所以，不
