Those trees wake up in the morning and beat their chests and drink their coffee black.
他還告訴我用水澆灌的樹的根是如何的淺，而那些沒有澆水的樹的根必須鉆入深深的泥土獲得水分。我將他的話理解為：深根是十分寶貴的。所以他從不給他的樹澆水。他種了一棵橡樹，每天早上，他不是給它澆水，而是用一張卷起的報(bào)紙抽打它?！芭?！噼！砰！”我問他為什么這樣做，他說是為了引起樹的注意。在我離家兩年后，吉布斯醫(yī)生就去世了。我常常經(jīng)過他的房子，看著那些25年前我曾看著他種下的那些樹。如今它們已是像石頭般硬朗了。枝繁葉茂、生氣勃勃。這些樹在早晨醒過來，拍打著胸脯，啜飲著苦難的汁水。
