Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a baby cow was being born.
One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft, sandy soil of the melon (瓜) field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.
Mr. Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn't long before a man from a nearby village, who had a terrible reputation (名声) for fighting and stealing, showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry.
Calmly Mr. Ingram said, "Well, I see you want to buy some watermelons."
There was a long silence before the man answered," Yeah, I guess so. What are you getting for them?"
"Twenty-five cents each."
"Well, I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here."
It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an unpleasant, perhaps unfortunate, incident had been prevented. After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me," Son, if you don't for give (原谅) your enemies, you're going to run out of friends. "
Mr. Ingram died a few years later, but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.
