内容摘要:
"Yes, Mama."

"So what's troublin' you?"

David thought for a moment.

"Mama, why you hummin' when you work?"

Mama looked at her child. "1 don't know. 1 like the

tune, 1 suppose. No reason, really." She turned back

to the breakfast dishes. "Run along now. Master won't

like you hangin' on his back door all day." She smiled.

David walked away, kicking a round stone. Mama

sang just for singin'. Jeremiah sang 'cause it made his

work go faster. But their songs were different from

the crickets'. He liked the crickets' song. It made him

feel a dull pulse of peace way down deep inside of

him. Mama's song was just a song, and Jeremiah's was

kind of sad. But not like the cricket. Somethin' missin'

in Mama's song, somethin' more missin' inJeremiah's.

But what?

David scurried to do his afternoon work. By evening,

his eleven-year-old body tingled from effort. He sat in

silence by the window and felt the crickets' song grow

in intensity. It was more wonderful now, and he could

tell the difference had become clearer and more dis-

tinct, though he couldn't feel quite what. But it was

still there.

"Looks like go I weather tomorrow, doesn't it,

child?" Mama knew that the blood-red sky meant a

glorious day tomorrow. The shades of crimson and

fire exploded on fhe horizon as the sun sank quickly

into the earth. They sat in silence, letting the song of

the tawny gold meadow fall into syncopation with the

crickets' cries of life.

Finally, it was lavender darkness enfolding mother

and son. The crickets' chorus grew deafening in the

moon's glow.

"Mama?"

"Yes, child."

"The bird sings 'cause he'sjoyful,thebullfrogcroaks

'cause he's happy he's a frog, Jeremiah sings 'cause it

makes his work easier, and you sing 'cause you want

to "

His dark eyes surveyed the meadow one more time

before hecontinued. "And 1 know why the cricket sings.

Mama. And why it sounds so sweet."

' The woman closed her eyes for a moment. "Why's

that, David?"

Some time passed, one of those times that seems

an eternity but is only an eye's blink in truth. A breeze

tickled the tops of the meadow wheat. David stood.

and took a long, deep breath of sweet summer air. A

dying star tore a seam in the sky as he opened his

mouth to speak. He looked at his mother.

"The cricket sings ..."

He glanced up at thepearly moon again. Itsparkled

like a shiny nickel atthe bottom of a wishing well. The

crickets kept chirruping, their song rising to charm the

stars into twinkling. David sighed and looked out over

the field before he finished.

"The cricket sings . . . 'cause he's free. Just 'cause

he's free."

His mother rose and stood by him as the sun's last

warm glow faded away. Together, they watched night

cover heaven's face and listened to the song washing

across the meadow. They listened, in wonder, to the

song which they could never sing.
