watermelons arrived, bernie would call. dad and i would go to bernies place. wed sit on the edge of the dock(码头), feet dangling(摇晃), and got ready for a big meal. bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. then wed bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heartthe reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seedfree partand throw away the rest. bernie was my fathers idea of a rich man. i always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. years later, i realized that it was not bernies wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.what i learned from bernie is that being rich is a state of
