    1.I did not want to go with him. I had just

    finished walking a half mile uphill from my

    home to his. I had carried a basket of dishes

    to Mom. There were two slip in the road and

    I could not drive my car. And I knew how hot

    it was. It was 97 in the shade. I knew that

    from January until April my father had gone

    to eight different doctors. One of the

    doctors had told him not to walk the length

    of a city block. He told my father to get a

    taxi to take his home. But my father walked

    home five miles across the mountains and

    told Mom what the doctor had said.

    2.“Oh, yes,” he said. “Early last spring, I could

    not climb straight up the steep path. That

    was when the doctor did not give me a week

    to live. I made a longer, easier path I would

    not have to do so much climbing, then, as I

    got better, he explained. “I made another

    path that was a little steeper, and as I

    continued to get better, I made steeper path.

    That was one of knowing I was getting

    better all the time”.

    3.Only twice did my father stop to wipe the

    sweat from his eyes as he climbed the

    second steef bluff toward the fingers of the

    pines. We reached the limbless trunks of

    these tall straight pines whose branches

    reached toward the blue depth of sky, or the

    white cloud which was now gone. I saw a

    clearing, a small clearing of not more than

    three-fourth of an acre in the heart of this

    wilderness right on the mountain top.

    4.I didn’t want to go with him. I had just

    finished walking a half mile uphill from my

    home to his. I had carried a basket of dished

    to Mom. There are two slips in the road and

    I could not drive my car. And I knew how hot

    it was. It was 97 in the shade. I knew that

    from January until April may father gone to

    eight different doctors. One of the doctors

    had told him not to walk the length of a city

    block. He told my father to get a taxi to take

    him home.

    5.I looked at the vast mountain slope where

    my mother and father had farmed. And I

    could remember, years later, when they

    farmed this land. It was on this steep slope

    that my father once made me a little wooden

    plough. That was when I was six years old

    and they bought me to the field to thin corn.

    I lost my little plough and I cried and cried

    until he made me another plough. But I

    never loved the second plough as I did the

    first one.

    1.“Remember when we used to come here to

    hunt fox squirrels? Remember when we sat

    beneath these hickories and squirrels threw

    green hickory shells down at us? The

    morning wind just at the break of day in

    August was so good to breathe. I cannot

    forget those days. And in October when the

    rabbits were ripe and the frost had come

    and the hickory leaves had turned yellow

    and the October winds blew they rustled and

    the big leaves from the trees and they fall

    like yellow rain drops to the ground!

    Remember”.

    2.I could not protest to him now. He had made

    up his mind. When he made up his mind to

    do a thing, he would do it even he had to

    crawl. He didn’t care if it was 97 in the

    shade or 16 below zero. I wiped more sweat

    from my face as I followed him down the

    little path between the pasture and the

    meadow.
