章节摘录

　　I glided back to the main office，eager to complete the ceremony．The bellboysgroaned on cue．I think someone threw something at me．　　So on the money was spent．Twenty dollars didn’t have any real financial impacton me．But I never forgot the Fish Man．It was a mystery．There was something elsegoing on．It was as if he was posing a riddle：　　“Why did I give you so much money？”　　I worked on the riddle for years．Sometimes I thought I had the answer，but thesolution changed depending on my perspective．As a teenager，I thought the Fish Man was showing off．When I became a banker，I thought the Fish Man was making a wise investment to improve the service during his stay．When 1 worked for the Dhone company I thought the Fish Man was feeling guilty for having a virtual monopoly on money．　　I am the same age as the Fish Man now．And I’ve had the same luck that he had financiallv．I can see myself at seventeen the way he saw me：naive，full of ener—gY and ambition，no clue where the trail begins or where it leads．　　If he had offered his old—man advice，1 wouldn’t have listened to it．But histwenty-dollar tip was a message that couldn’t be filtered out by my seventeen years old brain．The Fish Man had already taken the journey that was ahead of me．Maybe he was just going back to light the path．　　……
