When I was ten years ld, I lived with my family in a small huse in rural Suth Jersey. I ften accmpanied my mther t the A&P t buy grceries. Withut a car, we walked, and I wuld help her carry the bags.
My mther had t shp very carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely supprted us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a prmtinal display fr Wrld Bk Encyclpedia caught my eye. The vlumes were beautifully cream-clred. Vlume One was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dllar purchase.
All I culd think f while shpping was the bk. I std at the register（收银台）with my mther, hlding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came t ver eleven dllars. My mther prduced a five, sme singles, and a handful f change. As she was cunting ut the mney, I smehw fund the curage t ask fr the encyclpedia（百科全书）. “Culd we get ne? I said, shwing her the display. “It’s nly ninety-nine cents.”
I did nt understand my mther’s increasing anxiety; she did nt have enugh change and had t sacrifice a large can f peas t pay the amunt. “Nt nw, Patricia,” she said severely. “Tday is nt a gd day.” I packed the grceries and fllwed her hme, upset.
The next Saturday, my mther gave me a dllar and sent me t the A&P alne. Tw quarts f milk and a laf f bread—that’s what a dllar in 1957. I went straight t the Wrld Bk display.
