We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed that this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said ： “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won' t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last. " After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted ： “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck. ”
The accident had happened in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes （刹车）and the gas pedal （油门）. Holly was unhurt physically but when we reached her, she was crying and saying： "Oh, Dad, I'm sorry. I know how much you love this truck. " I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened （湿润）and she said ： ”That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad' s car and ran into a tree that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home, my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me. " Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night.
I remember how sad Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.
