   It’s been so long that I can’t remember the crime, but I’ll never forget the punishment: Dig up the fig tree (无花果) in the backyard and plant it at Mumsy’s place in the country. As I often did when   36   to hard labor in the garden, I suspected this was my parents’ way of   37    me to do their dirty work. 
   It was a Sunday morning. With some tools, I went at the tree, dismantling (拆卸) it branch by branch and limb by limb,   38   all that remained of the once-proud specimen was a sorry-looking stump of a thing.
 “What did that   39   ever do to you?”, my father said, “You left some taproot (主根), at least. Go and load up the truck.” On any other day before, during the  40   to mumsy’s, we would have pleasantly   41   school as usual, but I fenced myself off that time. 
 Then, at Mumsy’s, instead of sitting back to watch me work, he   42   me. As my father and I took turns to work, I could feel my anger  43    , making room for the simple satisfaction of working at my father’s side   44   a common goal.

They say you can   47   toenails in it and grow little kids.” My father answered. I never tried the toenail trick, but I did   48    as it settled in, took root, and began to prosper. I was amazed and    49   when bowls of figs began to fill the fridge. 
   In a    50   fair world, I don’t deserve the reward. I had    51    the tree for my own complaints. What right did I have to the fruit? Years later, I put this   52   to my father. Watching him slide a bowl of figs from the fridge one morning, I felt a sudden stab of shame for my boyhood  53   . My father took a fig from the   54   and let me think of the fruit as forgiveness. “You,” he said, “   55    some of that.”
