A
My grandmother was an iron-willed woman, everyone in my family feared her. When I was five years old, she invited some friends and relatives to her Bronx apartment for a party. Among the guests was a rich neighborhood who was doing well in business. His wife was proud of their social status and let everyone at the party know it. They had a little girl about my age who was spoiled(娇生惯养) and very much used to getting her own way.
At one point during the party, I made my way to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. A minute or two later, the little girl opened the bathroom door and walked in. . "Don't you know that little girls aren't supposed to come into the bathroom when a little boy is using it!?" I shouted. The surprise of my being there, along with the anger I had poured on her, shocked the little girl. Then she started to cry. She quickly closed the door, ran to the kitchen, and tearfully complained to her parents and my grandmother.
Grandmother was waiting for me when I left the bathroom. I received the longest, sharpest scolding of my young life. After her scolding was over and I had been dismissed , the party continued.
Twenty minutes later, all that changed. Grandmother walked by the bathroom and noticed a water streaming out from under the door. She pushed open the bathroom door and saw that the tap was turned on at full blast. Everyone knew who did it. The guests quickly formed a protective wall around me, but Grandmother was so angry that she almost got to me anyway.
My grandfather took me by the hand and seated me on his lap in a chair near the window. He was a kind and gentle man, full of wisdom and patience. Rarely did he raise his voice to anyone, and never did he argue with his wife . He looked at me with much curiosity, not at all angry or upset. "Tell me," he asked, "why did you do it?"
"Well, she yelled at me for nothing," I said earnestly. "Now she's got something to yell about." Grandfather didn't speak right away. He just sat there, looking at me and smiling.
"Eric," he said at last, "you are my revenge(报复)."
