英语原文

If you had a problem he would listen and try to help. He was very kind to his two employees. He loved children. He always favored me with a piece of caramel, mint, or lollypop when I came to his store. Saying "Here is a sweet for the sweetest little girl in New York." Lifting me up by my hands and spinning me around, to my delight. Mom would always stop by his store just to say hi or to pick up the seemingly endless supply of medications for my asthma. I loved Mister I thought he was wonderful. And I will never forget him because as far as I'm concerned he saved my mother's life, from pure evil.

　　One night I had a nightmare. I dreamed that my mother and I had just gotten off the bus and were walking home past Mister's store. As things in dreams, I saw in my minds eye a spider on the roof of the building Mister's store was in. Suddenly the spider began to grow until its body was about five feet long, add to that the legs and you have a gargantuan arachnid, and I knew it wanted to kill my mother. In the dream I screamed, "Mommy the spider wants to kill you pointing at the roof".

　　如果你有麻烦，他会耐心倾听并帮你解决。他对两个雇员非常好，他很爱孩子，我到他的店时，他时不时会给我一块焦糖、薄荷糖或是棒棒糖什么的，嘴里还说着“这是给全纽约最甜美的小姑娘的糖”。为了让我高兴，他还会把我高举起来原地转圈。妈妈经常到他的店里为我买哮喘药，看起来那些药像是永远不会缺货似的，有时她去那只是为了和先生问声好。我很喜欢先生因为我觉得他人很好。我永远都不会忘记他，因为我想是他把妈妈从恶魔的手中救了出来。

　　一天晚上我做了个噩梦，梦见妈妈和我从公车上下来往家走，路过先生的药店。还梦到先生的药店所在的那座楼的屋顶上趴着一只大蜘蛛，突然，蜘蛛的身体开始变大，足有5英尺长，再加上它那巨大的脚，俨然就是一个庞大的蛛类怪物。我知道它想杀死妈妈。梦中我指着楼顶大喊：“妈妈，它要杀你！”
