在这个暑假,有一件让我难忘的事,那就是??养小兔子

终于盼来了暑假。在这次期末考试中,我的数学考了100分,妈妈为了奖励我,给我买了一只可爱的小白兔。

小白兔很温顺,常常静静地趴在我的脚上,我抚摸着它雪一样白的毛,望这它红宝石似的眼睛。一会儿,我的脚背就被小白兔的身体捂热了,啊!好温暖啊。可是有一天早上我兴高采烈得去看它,没想到它居然……居然死了,我伤心极了。它是死于什么呢?妈妈告诉我:“一定是吃到了菜叶上的水。”当天下午,我和几个小伙伴将它埋了。那天在下雨,似乎老天爷也在为它哭泣。

妈妈看我这么伤心,难过,同意在买两只小兔子。

看啊;是一只白兔和一只灰兔。白兔和其他白兔都一样,雪一样的毛,漂亮的红眼睛,可是,它却比其他白兔更漂亮,它的尾巴有黑条纹,像装饰了一条黑色的绸带,这更让我喜欢了。灰兔是一个好动的小男孩,黑黑的大眼珠子十分可爱。

它们很喜欢我,我也很喜欢它们。每天早上,我都要喂它们一些新鲜菜叶、红萝卜。它们吃的“咔咔”的,看者它们吃,我都觉得香。

我要开学了,爸爸妈妈也要上班,大家都没有时间照顾它们。没办法,只有让别人帮忙养了。我依依不舍地送走了两只乖乖兔,我看着它们,它们也看着我,原来,它们也舍不得我呢。

我提起笔来写这件事,眼前就浮现了小兔子的眼睛、毛色,还有它们的可爱。

Lily, common name for the Liliaceae, a plant family numbering several thousand species of as many as 300 genera, widely distributed over the earth and particularly abundant in warm temperate and tropical regions. Most species are perennial herbs characterized by bulbs (or other forms of enlarged underground stem) from which grow erect clusters of narrow, grasslike leaves or leafy stems.

A few are woody and some are small trees. Evolutionally, the lily family is probably the basic monocotyledonous stock, its ancestors having given rise to the majority of contemporary monocots, e.g., the orchids, the palms, the iris and amaryllis families, and possibly also the grasses.

The relationships between plants of the modern lily family are not always clear, and some botanists subdivide the Liliaceae into several families or, if they take a broader view of the family, include some groups such as the Agave and Amaryllis families.

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, shed lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I dont remember when it first started annoying me —— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" She didnt say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words haunted me. But pride stifled my conscience, and I didnt tell her I was sorry.

Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mothers hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, hauntingly, in the back of my mind.

Well, the years have passed, and Im not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. Shes been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girls stomach or soothe a boys scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…… gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could……and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.

Through the years, my mothers hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before automatic washers!

Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" Catching Moms hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought shed remember, as I did. But Mom didnt know what I was talking about. She had forgotten —— and forgiven —— long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
