| 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. |
