小时候,我最喜欢在爷爷的农场里度过每一个星期天的下午,爷爷家在宾夕法尼亚州的西部。
农场四周都围上了石墙,绵延数十里。
房子和谷仓给我这个来自城市的男孩带来了无尽的乐趣。
我习惯了城市里整洁如一的客厅,它似乎总在肃然警告:“不许乱碰!”
记得我八岁那年,第一次去农场,就非常希望能爬上农场周边的石墙。
但我知道,父母是绝对不会同意的。
这些墙年代很久远了,有些石头都不见了,还有些已经松动或粉碎。
但是,我渴望爬上这些墙的欲望如此强烈,终于在一个春天的下午,我鼓足勇气,走进客厅,大人们午餐后都会聚集在这里。
“我,呃,我想爬那些石墙。”
我犹犹豫豫地说。
大家都抬起头来。
“我可以去爬那些石墙吗?”
屋内的女士们立即异口同声地说道,“天啊,不可以!”
她们惊慌地叫道,“你会伤着自己的!”
