Gary then asked his brother Gavin, “Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?” Gavin said that he had not. But Gary did not let it go and kept questioning. “Twenty-dollar bills can’t get up and walk away by themselves! Surely you must have seen it.” There was accusation in Gary’s voice. Tempers began to rise and anger grew. “I said I didn’t see it!” Gavin raised his voice.
The quarrel divided the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, they never said a word to each other.
One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, “How long have you been here?” Gary replied that he’d been there all his life. “Then you are the person I’m looking for, since I must tell you the truth,” the customer said emotionally. “Twenty years ago, I was totally broke and hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I hadn’t been able to forget that. I had to come back and ask for your forgiveness(宽恕).”
The stranger felt very surprised when seeing tears come to the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. “Would you please go next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?” Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more --- after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and cried together in the front of the wall of the store.
After twenty years, the wall of anger that set them apart finally came down.

She said, “Hi, young man! I"m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug? ”

“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world.”
“No, seriously,” I asked.
“I always dreamed of having a college education. Now I’m getting one!” she told me.

At the end of the term we invited Rose to at our party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you your dreams, you die!” she said.
“There is a big between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent,” she added. “But to grow up, you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets(遗憾). We usually don’t have regrets for what we did, rather for things we did not do.”

He then went up to the farm house and talked to the farmer, “Sir, I was just passing by and I saw that you have many chickens and an eagle.” The farmer smiled and said, “That’s not an eagle. It’s a chicken.” The young man kept saying that it was an eagle. He said to the farmer, “Sir, that is an eagle! I can proveit to you.” The farmer laughed, “Sure, go ahead.”
The young man then pulled that big bird out and climbed a high mountain. He held the bird in his hands and said, “You are an eagle, fly!” But the bird failed. The young man tried the second time. He said to the bird, “I don’t care you have been raised as a chicken for those years. But I know what you were created to be. You are an eagle, now fly!” After the young man tried another three times, the bird began to flap (拍打) its wings. Finally, it flew high and began to fly around the farm.
