I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down ,I sometimes do some cooking. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to cook. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make money. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed. The woman sat in an wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated(沮丧) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted. She only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.
Today I can cook pretty well. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age
now. Anyway, when I cook, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.
