He told the clerk（柜员) it would be on credit. The clerk was new and didnt know Grandpa, though he had been coming to this same country store for 20 years.“Sign here,” the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said.Grandpa took the pencil beside the paper and carefully marked an “X” on the dotted（点）line.“Youre supposed to sign your name,” she said.Grandpas hand shook with the pencil. He was a tall man, thin with sandy blond（金色的） hair and blue eyes. I hadnt seen him so embarrassed before, especially in front of a teenager girl.“I cant read or write,” he said. “Ive always signed with an X”. I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there.I wasnt sure what happened, but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been pricked. I went close to him and broke my chocolate bar in half.“Want some?” I asked. He took it and cut into it. In spite of his smile, the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldnt make the pain go away.Grandpa is no longer with us now, but I know he was never simply “Grandpa X”. He just didnt know how to read and he thought it was too late in life for him to start. What I would want to tell Grandpa more than anything else, if I could speak to him today, is that its not too late. There are programs and people who are willing to help him learn to read and write.
