I was 10 the year my cousin Marley’s parents gave her a painful Christmas surprise: they were getting a divorce(離婚). My aunt went to California, but my uncle decided to get her back. There was one matter: where to put his young daughter. Luckily, my mother loved Marley, giving her more attention than her family ever did.

On that Christmas Eve, my cousin arrived on our doorstep carrying an old blue suitcase. Before she stepped inside, Marley said, “It doesn’t matter. When my parents come back, we’ll have a bigger Christmas than this.”

Late on the night Marley arrived, my mom came into my room, her arms filled with packages.I knew they were my Christmas presents. “I know how you love surprises but we have to decide which ones to give to Marley.”

My mother carefully opened the gifts. Wow! I saw ice skates, red leather gloves and a dollhouse. The last present was the music box we’d asked the lady at the local store to take down and play for us over and over again.

“Which ones?” my mother asked. “She can have the ice skates,” I said reluctantly(勉強地). “That’s good,” my mother said. She began to tape the packages up again. Then she stopped and asked, “Are you sure about these?” At that moment, I realized she expected more from me than I had already given. So I gave her the music box, too, and ___________. The next morning, Marley’s eyes were resolute(堅定的). She expected nothing and wanted us to know she didn’t care. But when she saw her name on the biggest box, she couldn’t hide her excitement. I thought my happiness would be cut in half. Instead it was doubled.

“Before I came here,” one child said, “I thought swimming was running through an open fire hydrant(消防龍頭).”

“Here” is a summer camp that’s only an hour from New York City—but a world away. This camp is run by the Fresh Air Fund(基金會). Since 1877, the fund has helped poor children from New York City spend summers in the country. Each year, over one thousand children, age 6—18,take part in the program. Some stay at the camp; others live with host families. The fund pays all money.

The camp is for 8 to 15-year-olds. At camp, children can learn about the stars, see deer and cows and other animals, and go hiking, fishing, and of course swimming. The children learn responsibility(責任) by helping out with chores like making beds and waiting on tables. They also learn a lot from teachers, who are often college students from around the United States and from other countries.

Host families from thirteen states and Canada offer to have children spend the summer with them. Many of these families have their own children. The visiting children become part of the family. They go with the family on picnics, to the pool or beach, and on trips. The children are from 6 to 12 years old when they make their first visit, and most are invited back. Some of the children and families become friends for life.
