One family, which had emigrated from Japan and settled at the turn of the century near San Francisco, had established a business in which they grew roses and trucked them into San Francisco three mornings a week.
The other family was a naturalized(加入国籍的)family from Switzerland who also marketed roses, and
21 families became modestly successful,
22 their roses were known in the markets of San Francisco for their
23 vase-life.
For four decades the two families were neighbors, and the sons
24 the farms, but then on December 7, 1941, Japan
25 Pearl Harbor. Although the rest of the family members were American, the
26 of the Japanese family had never been naturalized. In the turmoil(动乱) and the questions about internment camps(拘留营), his neighbor made it clear that, if
27 , he would look after his friend’s nursery(花圃). It was
28 each family had learned in church—Love the neighbor as thyself. “You would do
29 for us, ” he told his Japanese friend.
It was not long before the Japanese
30 was transported to a poor landscape in Granada, Colorado. The relocation center consisted of tar-paper-roofed barracks (兵营)
31 by barbed wire and armed guards.
A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the
32 neighbors were in internment, their friends worked in the greenhouses, the
33 before school and on Saturdays, and the father's work often stretched to 16 and 17 hours. And then
34 , when the war in Europe had
35 , the Japanese family packed up and
36 a train. They were going home.
What would they find? The family was
37 at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family stared.. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy.
So was the balance of the bank passbook
38 to the Japanese father. And the house was
39 as clean and welcoming as the nursery.
And there on the dining room
40 was one perfect red rosebud, just waiting to unfold- the gift of one neighbor to another.
