　　 “We should do something nice for the old people of our town,”the teacher said to her class one day. “What could we do?”

　　“Can we give them a picnic?”one of the children asked. “We can send out invitations(邀請)and bring cakes and sausages(香腸)and all kinds of good things to eat.”

　　“That's very good idea,”the teacher said. “We'll ask all the old people to a picnic by the river.”

　　The children worked hard getting ready for the picnic. Their parents made cakes and pies(餡餅)or gave money, and the children wrote invitation cards to the old people. Then they took the cards to the old people's homes.

　　On the morning of the picnic the sky was blue and the sun was shining. The children were all looking forward to giving the old people a happy day.

　　Then one of the children said. “Oh! We forgot to invite Mrs. Waller.”

　　They did not like Mrs. Waller. She looked like a witch.

　　 “We must invite her how then,” the teacher said. “She will be hurt and angry if we don't ask her.”

　　She looked around the class and then pointed at one of the boys. “Tom, take an invitation card to her house. Apologize(道歉)for being late. Don't tell her we forgot her.”

　　Tom did not want to go to Mrs. Waller's house, but he was a brave(勇敢的)boy, and said, “All right, Miss Lee.”

　　He went to the old woman's house and knocked on the door. Mrs. Waller opened it. She looked very angry.

　　 “Well,” she said, “what is it? What do you want?”

　　Tom gave her the invitation card and said, “I'm sorry we did not ask you before, but please come to our picnic. It's a beautiful day.”

　　Mrs. Waller knew that the children thought she was a witch. She guessed that they had forgotten her.

　　 “You're too late,” the woman said. “It's a beautiful day now, but I've already arranged for rain this afternoon.”

It was the first day of school. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady smiling at me.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed, enthusiastically responding, “Of course!” And she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
“I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then retire and travel.”
“No seriously.”
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”
We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she took great delight in the attention given to her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet (宴會) and I’ll never forget what she taught us.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simply said, “I’m sorry. This whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began: “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing; There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You have got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. Anyone can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”
At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral(葬禮) to honor the wonderful woman.
【小題1】While meeting Rose at the college for the first time, the author was curious about
________.
