I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldnt help retelling stories Id heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional（职业的） storytellers were smooth-talking mennothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回报）for Mothers kindness and a way to show off my memory, Id retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasnt the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother. I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager.
