In my grandmother's house, there was a cabinet high on the wall. 在我外婆家，墙的高处有一个柜子。

That was where the sweets lived. 糖果就放在那里。

I couldn't reach it. 我够不着。

I needed a chair, 我得踩着椅子才行，

and the chair made a noise on the floor, 但椅子在地上会弄出响声，

and Grandma always heard. 外婆总是能听见。

"What are you doing in there?" “你在那儿干嘛呢？”

So getting a sweet took a plan. 所以想拿块糖得有个计划。

Quiet feet. 脚步要轻。

A slow chair. 挪椅子要慢。

A fast hand. 下手要快。

Sometimes, she just opened it herself and gave me two. 有时候，她会自己打开柜子，直接给我两块。

I think she liked watching me try first. 我觉得她是喜欢先看我忙活一通的样子。

I visited the house this year. 今年我又去了那栋房子。

It's empty now. 现在里面空荡荡的。

In the kitchen, I looked up, and there it was. 在厨房里，我一抬头，柜子还在那儿。

I reached out, without a chair, 我伸出手，没用椅子，

without even standing on my toes, and opened the door. 甚至都没踮脚，就把柜门打开了。

Nothing inside. 里面什么都没有。

Just a clean shelf. 就只有空荡荡的隔板。

I'm finally tall enough. 我终于够得着了。

And I'd give anything to need the chair again. 可我多希望自己还需要那把椅子啊。
