22、Jodie’s daddy is a garbage man (垃圾清理工)

Mr. Swales wanted to find out what his students’ parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls laughed. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbage man!”

Everybody in the class laughed out loudly, except Jodie. She felt her face turned red.

“Silence!” Mr. Swales said, “being a garbage man is a difficult and useful job. We all should be grateful to Jodie’s father.”

Jodie’s father came to take her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him as she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.

Her father came into her room, “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?”

Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn’t seem angry or hurt. “Well,”he said, “they are right. Being a garbage man is a dirty job. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie.”

The place really smelt too bad. Jodie wrinkled her nose. “Don’t worry, kid. In five minutes, you won’t smell anything,” said her father.

Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.

It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy.

“Garbage is dirty, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making others happy. That’s why I like being a garbage man so much.”

Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbage man daddy a big kiss. She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbage girl!”

Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbage man! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”

One day an old woman came into the shop. She was very rich and she came to the shop every week. She came to Sue’s chair and sat down.

“Good morning,” Sue said to her. “Do you want me to cut your hair today?”

“No,” the old woman said. “I don’t want you to cut it. I want you to dye it. My hair is white and I don’t like white. I want another color. Old people have white hair. I don’t want to be old.”

“Which colors do you want?”

“Which colors can I have?” the old woman asked.

“You can have black,” Sue said, “or brown. Some women are having red this year. You can even have blue.”

“Oh no,” the old woman said. “I don’t want blue. I’ll have black.” And then she sat back in the chair, close her eyes and went to sleep.

Sue washed the old woman’s hair, then she went to get the bottle of black dye. Just then the telephone rang. It was Tom. Sue’s boy friend.

I have only rubbish for lunch today.” The other children laughed and laughed. Then Peter said, “I have two eggs. Why don’t you have one? I don’t need two.
