A
We were standing at the top of a church tower．My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome．1 wondered why．
“Look down，Elsa,”Father said．I gathered all my courage and looked down．I saw the square in the center of the village．And I saw the crisscross(十字形)of twisting， turning streets leading to the square．
“See，my dear,”Father said gently．“There is more than one way to the square． Life is like that．If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road，try
another．”
Now I understood why l was there．Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school。But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said．
When I turned to Father for help，he would not interfere(干涉)．Instead，he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson．By the time we reached home，I had a plan．
At school the next day,I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home．Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner．The plan worked perfectly．She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered，“The cook must have gone mad!”Quickly I told what I had done．and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me．I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago．1 was busy geRing ready to show my winter fashions．But just l3 days before the presentation the sewing girls all stopped
working．1 was as hopeless as my models．“We’ll never make it．”One of them cried． Accept the failure?Or use wisdom to find another road to my goal?Then a great idea flashed through my mind——why not show the clothes unfinished?
And，exactly l 3 days later,our showing turned out to be so unusual that it was a great success．Our different showing caught the attention of the public，and orders for the clothes poured in．
