Those were the cool summer nights of the mid nineties in Southern Alberta,Canada,when the four children were young and we would lie on the trampoline(蹦床) in the backyard late at night,for the sun would not set till late in July and August.We would look at the stars up above.It was a simple painting of little white dots on a black canvas,but we would never grow tired of looking at it.As our eyes surveyed that starry wonder we would see streaks of lights as meteors(流星) hit the atmosphere and burn up,or we would follow the meteors' steady path across the sky till it would also disappear.
These were the times when I would tell the stories of my own childhood and teach the kids life's lessons that have been remembered to this day.I chuckle,as I recall the time when we heard a coyote not far away,that I started a story about a bear sneaking (溜)up to the trampoline.The closer the bear came (in the story )the closer the kids snuggled up to mom and I,until suddenly I let out this big daddy growl and grabbed all the kids.They would startle and jump up and then all laugh,“Daddy,you scared us!”
Now the children are in their mid and late teens,but they fondly remember the starry nights on that trampoline.Recently my oldest daughter on her wedding day sang a song for her parents,entitled I'll always be your little girl.She wrote the music and words;it included a memory of those starry nights.
