知心的礼物

[美]保尔·威利尔亚德

       从妈妈领我去了一次小店之后,我便渴望自己去买糖。那时我对钱一无所知。我经常看到妈妈给别人一点什么东西,然后别人则给她递出一个包或一个袋子,这样逐渐地我就有了交换的概念。有一天,我花了好大气力来到店铺弄响门铃,推开了那扇巨大的门。我着迷似地一步步沿着糖果柜台走过去。

       我挑选出了一些各色各样的糖果后,威老先生从柜台上弯下身子问我:“你有钱买这么多糖果吗?”我回答说:“我有很多很多钱。”我伸出小拳头放在威老先生张开的手中,里面有五六个用闪闪发亮的锡纸细心包好的樱桃核。

       威老先生静静地站着注视着自己的手掌,然后,好像是想要发现什么似地看了我一会。 

      “不够吗?”我担心地问。

       他轻轻地叹了口气。“我想是有点多了,”他回答说,“我还得给你找钱。”他打开抽屉,取了钱,弯下身子,把两分钱放进我伸出的手中。

       这件事我很快就忘了。成人后我组织了自己的家庭,和妻子开了一个金鱼店,其中大部分鱼是直接从亚洲、非洲和南美洲引进的,每对鱼差不多都值五美元以上。

       一个星期天的下午,一位女孩同她弟弟进来了,他们约有五六岁。我正忙着洗鱼缸。那俩小孩站在那儿,眼睛睁得又圆又大,紧盯着在清澈的水中游玩的珠宝般漂亮的金鱼。“真棒!”小男孩叫起来,“我能要几条吗?”“行呀,”我说,“如果你们有钱买的话。”“哦,我们有好多好多钱。”小女孩信心十足地说。

       她说话神情中的那种东西给我一种熟悉而奇怪的感觉。我把他们挑中的鱼捞进一个旅行罐中,放进一个运输用的口袋里,俯身递给了男孩。

       他转向姐姐。“姐,付给他钱呀。”她紧握的拳头张开了,把两个镍币和一角钱放在我展开的手掌上。

       瞬间,我好像完全领悟到威老先生多年前那件事给我的全部影响。只有这个时候我才懂得当年我对老人的挑战,才弄清楚老人是多么出色地接受了这一挑战。

       我看着手中的硬币,像是又站在那个小糖果店里,就像威老先生多年前理解的那样,我理解这两个孩子的纯朴天真以及保护或者摧毁这种天真的力量。我喉咙哽塞了,心里充满了回忆。小女孩充满期望地站在我面前。“钱不够吗?”她小声地问我。

      “不,是太多了些。”我总算克服了感情的激动,好容易才说出来,“还得找你点呢。”我把两分钱放在她伸开的手里,然后便站在门口望着孩子小心翼翼地捧着他们的宝贝远去。

       我回到店里时,妻子问我:“你知道给了他们多少鱼吗?值三十块钱呢。”

       我给她讲了威老先生的故事,她的眼睛湿润了,在我脸上轻轻地吻了一下。

       我敢肯定当我擦完最后一只鱼缸时,我听到威老先生在我身后笑了。
