Grandpa carried the broken saw and the hammer into the garden. I followed him with the nails. I said to myself, ‘I’m helping Grandpa!’
In the garden, Grandpa went to one of the old apple trees. He put the broken saw into the tree, high up. First he made a little cut in the tree, and then pushed the saw hard into the cut. Then he took three nails from me, and hammered them into the tree, around the old saw.
It was a very old tree, and I saw that there were lots of old nails in it.
Grandpa finished. ‘There,’ he said. ‘That’s good. The saw won’t fall out of the tree now.’
I was only six years old, and I did not understand.
爷爷把破锯子和锤子拿到花园里。我拿着钉子跟在后面,心想:“我在给爷爷帮忙呢!”
走进花园,爷爷来到其中一株老苹果树跟前。他把破锯子高高地插进树干。他先在树干上划出一条小缝,然后用力把锯子插进缝里。接着,他从我手里拿了三颗钉子,用锤子钉进了树干,就钉在旧锯子周围。
这是一株很老的树,我看到树干上有很多旧钉子。
爷爷钉好了钉子。“好了,”他说,“这样就行了。现在锯子不会从树上掉下来了。”
那时我只有六岁,不明白这是怎么回事。
