During a visit to my mother' s home, I joined her in the living room to talk, read and watch television. Facing a bookcase that has been in the same spot since I was a child, I let my eyes wander over the familiar volumes, many of which now have faded covers and frayed bindings.
"These books look so sad," I remarked. "Maybe we should go through them and toss some."

97.故事还在里面
我回娘家期间，我和母亲一起在起居室里交谈、读书、看电视。对面是一个从我孩童时代就原地未动的书架。我的眼睛看着那些熟悉的卷册，其中许多都已封面褪色、书脊磨破了。
“这些书看起来真惨，”我说，“或许我们应该翻检一下，扔掉一些。”
母亲站起来，走到书架处。她拿下几本书，翻了几页又重新放了回去。然后她坐回到椅子上，平静地说：“很好，故事还都在里面。”
