     Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting. Delia came to New York

from the South, dreaming about music. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends

and got married.

     They had only a small flat to live in , but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both

interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money.

     Delia decided to give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband:

     "Joe, , I've found a pupil, a general's daughter. She is a sweet girl. I'm to give three lessons a week

and get $5 a lesson."

     But Joe was not glad.

     "But how about me?" he said." Do you think I'm going to watch you work while I play with my art?

No, I want to earn some money too."

     "Joe, , you are silly," said Delia. "You must keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a

week."

     "Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures," said Joe.

Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home

fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired.

     "Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. I'm afraid she doesn't practice enough. But the general is

the est old man! I wish you could know him, Joe."

     And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket.

     "I've sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria," he said, "and he has ordered another."

     "I'm so glad," said Delia. "Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before. We'll have a

good supper tonight."

     Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came,

her right hand in a bandage.

     "What's the matter with your hand?" said Joe. Delia laughed and said:

     "Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand.

She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?"

     "What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?"

     "Five o'clock, I think. The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?"

     " Delia, come and sit here," said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her.

     "What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth."

     She began to cry.

     "I couldn't get any pupils," she said, "So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts. This afternoon a girl

accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn. But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that

I wasn't giving music lessons?"

     "It's very simple," said Joe. "I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to

a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron. You see, I work in the engine-room of the same

laundry where you work."

     "And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?" 

     "Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria."

锁在箱子里的思想

杨汉光

  爷爷是个人人崇敬的思想家,我从小喜欢读他的著作。中学毕业时,我很自然报考了文科,准备将来和爷爷一样,做个思想家。爷爷却皱起眉头说:“做思想家有什么好?还是考理科,学点实在的东西吧。”

  我不听爷爷的劝告,最后还是坐到大学的教室里,学起哲学来。我开始阅读古今中外的书籍,随着阅读的深入,我痛苦地发现:爷爷其实是个毫无思想的人,他的所有著作,都是用自己的话讲别人的思想。

  四年大学的重头戏是写毕业论文,我鬼使神差地想写爷爷,题目叫《一个没有思想的思想家》。看着这个题目,我自己都吓了一跳。我把提纲拿给指导老师看。他还没看完就跳起来:“你疯了!如果你敢写这个论文,我就不认你这个学生。”

  我是个有头脑的人,怎么能只贩卖别人的思想而不表达自己的看法呢?我暗中继续写那篇《一个没有思想的思想家》。写成后,我起了个“小丁”的笔名,将文章寄给杂志社,一直寄到第八家,才成功发表。文章登出来后,立刻掀起轩然大波,有人支持我,更多的人维护爷爷,两派激烈争论。我自然冲在最前头,有一阵子,我几乎每天都要写一篇文章参加论战。我对爷爷太熟悉了,每篇文章都打在他的七寸上,弄得爷爷的追随者暴跳如雷。论战正酣的时候,父亲打电话来,说爷爷想见我,叫我马上回去。

  我很不情愿地回到家,爷爷在书房里,他说:“小丁同志,请进来。”

  我走进爷爷的书房,忐忑不安地问:“爷爷,您怎么知道小丁是我?”

  “我的电话都快被打爆了,想不知道都难啊!”爷爷坐在太师椅里,他瘦多了,脸上的皱纹折叠得厉害。爷爷的目光也大不如前了,好像两把燃烧了八十年的火炬,正在渐渐熄灭。一向强大的爷爷,转眼间成了个可怜的老头。看得出来,“小丁”同志给了他沉重的打击。

  爷爷说:“我拿样东西给你看。”他从太师椅里站起来,可身体一晃,踉跄了一下。我赶紧伸手去扶爷爷,没想到爷爷轻飘飘的,我没用多大劲,就把他带离了地面。

  我难过地说:“爷爷,您太轻了。”

  爷爷指指书柜顶上一个大箱子:“把那个箱子拿下来。”

  打开箱子,里面是爷爷的手稿,满满一箱。爷爷抽出一叠手稿递给我:“你看看。”

  我勉强接过手稿,敷衍说:“好,我拿回房里看。”

  爷爷猜透了我的心思:“你现在就看。”

  没办法,我只好硬着头皮读爷爷的手稿。出人意料的是,爷爷的手稿和他出版的那些著作竟然完全不同,字里行间充满真知灼见,发前人所未发,我越读越佩服,最后彻底投降了:“爷爷,您太棒了!”

  我花了整整一个星期:才读完爷爷的手稿,发现爷爷是个真正的思想家。

  这么好的手稿,为什么不拿去出版呢?我疑惑不解,爷爷淡然一笑:“正因为没拿去出版,我才能活到今天。我是写给自己看的,有你一个读者,已经是破例了。”

  把一生的成果锁在箱子里,这样活着跟死去有什么不同?我不顾爷爷的反对,无论如何要拿他的手稿去出版。爷爷只好让步说:“好吧,但你要让我最后修改一次。”

  当晚,爷爷在书房里修改手稿,直到第二天早上都没出来。我怕他累坏,就去看看。推开书房的门时,我惊呆了。爷爷坐在太师椅里,面前是一堆纸灰,他手里还拿着一张未烧完的手稿。

  “爷爷,您怎么把手稿烧了?”

  我连问几声,爷爷都没有回答。摸他的额头,冰凉,爷爷已经去世多时了。

  我把地上的纸灰捧回箱子里,锁好,那是一个思想家不敢让人知道的思想。(选自《小说选刊》
