As he lay awake that night, Bebeto could hearhis parents discussing his sister Ana’s birthday. Itwas just two days away. Birthdays were always alot of fun, even though there was no money forstore-bought gifts. Nearly all of the toys he and his
sister had were homemade. There was nothingwrong with that, he knew. Like many families inthis part of Brazil, they were poor.
This birthday would be different, though. Anawas older now, and he’d seen how her eyes lit upwhen she saw the new doll at Zulma’sPresentes, aneighborhood store just down the road from theirhouse.
How he longed for her to have it! An ideafinally came to him just before he went to bed.After a quick breakfast the following morning, heplaced a tin can (锡罐) and a piece of string in alarge bag. Then he tied the bag to the handlebars ofhis bicycle and headed toward the outskirts (市郊)of town.
After a long journey, he reached hisdestination, the mango grove (小树林). There werealready two other boys there. Bebeto grabbed hisbag and set to work right away. The smaller treeshad already been picked over pretty well, but hewas able to find a half-dozen mangoes before noon.
When the sun was high overhead, the hardwork began. Nearly all of the taller trees held ripemangoes, but they were well beyond reach. Theother boys took their fruit and went away. Bebetoused his pocketknife to cut a long piece ofbamboo. Then he took the tin can from the bag,tied it to one end of the bamboo stick, and walked
over to the base of a mature (成熟的) mango tree.
He stayed there, poking (捅) the tin can highup into the tree. His efforts were occasionallyrewarded when a mango dropped into the can.After a while his neck ached from looking upward,and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and
by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
