Unit Five: Penny In The Dust
This short story is a recall which is about a penny given by the leading character’s father. The story begins with a funeral. After the father’s funeral, the leading character was talking with his sister and couldn’t help recalling the afternoon when everyone thought he was lost. The father was a reticent man who never said “love” and was severe and humorless. So the son didn’t know whether his father liked him and he even didn’t know about his father’s feeling.
One day, the father gave him a penny. The leading character was so excited that he played it again and again through “burying and digging”. However, at the last time, he couldn’t find the penny. He was upset and desperate. To avoid these bad feelings, he slept in the bed for a long time which made the whole family thought that he was missing. After the finding, the father talked to this imaginative child he never knew about. Though the talk, the father knew his son’s love and hope which affected the father deeply. At the same time, the son knew the father’s love through his worry and hurry. At last, the father put the recovered penny back in his own jacket and kept it for a life time.
It’s a touching narration. We all moved by the love between the father and the son. Through the “penny accident”, the father and his son cleared up their misunderstanding of each other. They both knew each other’s love and care. They continued their love and care to each other for the whole life. In one word, penny in the dust is not only a penny given by the father, but also the father-son love. In our life, we always meet with person who is introvert. They may never say their feelings about you, but they may help and care you quietly. But as long as we open our heart and be more patient, we can know more about others.
