A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you asked

that is so you can borrow some money

to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed

to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room

and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

Friendship is unconditional and uncritical, based only on mutual respect and the ability to enjoy each other" s company. These authority figures never saw the way one of us could do something outrageous, and the rest of us would joke about it for days. We could have fun doing absolutely nothing at all—because the company we provided each other with was enough. Rather than discussing operas, Lewinsky, or the weather, we enjoyed just hanging around each other without any one of us trying to outsmart the others. Still, I realize that these adults had a point to be concerned about the direction my friends were heading; I also was concerned for them, but I wasn"t about to leave them. Many times I would advise my friends that some activity may be dangerous or to think things through before doing something, but I would never claim to hold the moral high ground and to condescend to them. When Marvin would begin rolling joints, when Alisa would tell me she skipped school because of a hangover, or when Mariam would tell me that her new boyfriend was in a street gang, I expressed my discomfort with their actions. However, I never blackmailed them with the threat of taking my friendship away. Contrary to the commercials on television, you can have friends who use drugs. In fact, probably everyone does without realizing it.
友谊是无条件、不带偏见的；彼此相互尊重，并且喜欢和对方在一起，就是友谊。这些权威人士永远不会明白为什么我们会为一些小事快乐好几天。我们在一起的时候即使什么也不做，也会感到开心——因为大家聚在一起就已足够；不去谈论戏剧、莱温斯基或者天气，大家只是享受那份闲来荡去的惬意，谁也不用绞尽脑汁想着怎样一较高下，分清孰优孰劣。然而，我知道那些大人很担心我朋友的将来；我也有同感，但并没有打算要和他们绝交。所以我常常提醒他们有些活动是很危险的，或是做某件事之前要深思，我绝对不会把道德标准束之高阁而去参与他们其中；当马文想尝试一下大麻的滋味，或者阿莉萨告诉我她因为宿醉而逃课，又或者玛丽安说她的新男友是街上的一个小混混时，我只是为他们感到不安，但我从来没想到以绝交威胁他们。和电视广告不同，你们也可能会结交吸毒的朋友。实际上，也许每个人都有这样的经历，但自己并没有意识到。
