Charles Plumb, a U.S.
Naval Academy graduate, was a jet
fighter(
战斗机
) pilot in
Vietnam. After
75
combat
missions,
his
plane
was
36
by
a
surface-to-
air
missile.
Plumb
was
37
and
spent six years in
prison in Vietnam. He survived and now
38
about lessons learned from that
experience.
One day, Plumb and his wife
were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another
table came up
and said,
39
jet fighters in Vietnam from the
aircraft carrier (
航空母舰
)
Kitty Hawk . You were
40
!
41
your
parachute,
the
man
replied.
Plumb
gasped
（倒吸一口气）
in
surprise
and
42
.The man pumped his hand
and said,
Plumb assured him,
43
did
—
if your chute
hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here
today.
Plumb couldn't sleep that
night
，
thinking about that
man. He says,
I might have passed him
44
the Kitty Hawk. I wondered
how many times I might have seen
him
and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or
anything
45
, you see, I
was a fighter
pilot and he was just a
46
.
Plumb thought of the many
days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table
in the
bowels
（深
处）
of
the
ship
47
working
on
each
chute,
holding
in
his
hands
each
time
the
48
of
someone he didn't know.
Plumb asks his
49
,
50
? Everyone has someone who provides
what
they
need
to
make
it
51
the
day.
Plumb
also
says
that
he
needed
many
kinds
of
parachutes when his plane
was shot down-he needed his
52
parachute, his mental parachute,
his emotional parachute, and his
spiritual parachute. He called on all these
53
before reaching
safety.
His
experience
reminds
us
all
to
54
and
be
kind
to
people
who
pack
our
daily
parachutes, and
strengthen us to go through
55
times.

It
was Molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper
lunch bag each mo
rning before he headed
off to work
．
One morning
，
in
addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him
a second paper bag. This
one was worn
and held together with staples(
书钉
)
．
“Why two bags?”her
father asked
．
”The other is
something
else
，
”Molly
answered
．
”What’s in
it?”“Just some stuff
．
Take it
with you
．
” Not wanting
to discuss the matter, he put both
sacks into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed
off
．
At midday he
opened
Molly’s
bag
and
took
out
the
contents
：
two
hair
ribbons
，
three
small
stones
，
a
plastic
dinosaur
，
a tiny
sea shell
，
a small
doll
，
and 13 pennies
．
．
．
The busy
father smiled
，
finished
eating
，
and swept the desk
clean into the wastebasket,
Molly’s
stuff in
cluded
．
That
evening
，
Molly ran up behind
him as he read the
paper
．
”Where’s my
bag?” “What bag?”
“The one I gave you this
mo
rning
．
”“I left
it at the office
, wh
y ?”“I
forgot to put this note in
it
．
”
she said
．
< br>，
besides
，
Daddy
，
the things in the sack are
the things I really like
．
I
thought you might
like to play with
them
．
You didn’t
lose the bag
，
did you
< br>，
Daddy?”“Oh
，
no
，
”he said
，
lying
．
”I just
forgot to bring it
home
．
I’ll bring it
back
tomorrow
．
”
While Molly hugged her father’s
neck
，
he
unfolded
the note that read
：
”I love y
ou
，
Daddy
．
< br>”
Molly had
given him her treasures
－
all
that a
7-year-old held
dear
．
Love in a paper
bag
，
and he missed
it
－
not only missed it, but
had thrown it in the wastebasket.
So
back he went to the office. Just ahead of the
night janitor(
看门人
), he
picked up the bag from the
wastebasket.
He put the treasures inside and carried it home
carefully. The bag didn't
look so good ,
but the stuff
was all there and that’s what
counted.
After dinner, he asked Molly to tell
him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long
time to tell.
Everything had a story or
a memory. “
Sometimes I think of all
t
he great times in this sweet
life,”
he
thought.
We should all remember that it’s not
the destination that counts in life, but the
journey. That
journey with the people
we love is all that really matters. It is such a
simple truth but it is so easily
forgotten.
