My elder brother Steven gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after my father died when I was six years old.
For example, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a?Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who ask me what happened. When I told him that my baseball had flown through Mrs. Holt's basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path?between buildings. Although my voice shook?as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window?from my pocket money.
I also learned from Steve that personal property(财产) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my?fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in?spite of the fact that it had little value. He also reminded me of how sad I was when I lost the small?dog my father made from a piece of wood. At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids. And I still?remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on the shoulder.?
???? Yet of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was?twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the garden with a gun. Excited with my accuracy, I asked?Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and?stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, "Did it hurt you first, Mark?" I didn't?know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, "Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decided whether your will kill it or not." I really felt terrible then, but that?moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
