Jack angrily threw the papers on my desk．“What’s wrong?” I asked．

“Next time you want to change anything，ask me first，”he said．

How dare he treat me like that，I thought．I had changed one long sentence and corrected grammar—something I thought I needed to do．It is not that I hadn’t been warned．“He’s responsible for two different secretaries leaving the firm，”one secretary told me．

One day，his behavior reduced me to tears．I walked angrily to his office，“What?” he said．

“Jack，I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way．It unprofessional and it’s wrong for me to allow it to continue，”I said．“I want to make you a promise．I will be a friend．You deserve that．” I said．“Everybody does．”I moved the chair smoothly and easily and closed the door behind me．

There were no other episodes（*曲）from Jack．Every time I saw him in the hall，I smiled at him．After all，that’s what friends do．A few weeks later，I discovered I had breast cancer（乳腺癌）．And it was very serious．One day，the door to my small hospital room opened and there stood Jack．I waved him in and over to my bed．He put a bundle （一束花）beside me．“Tulips” he said．I smiled，not understanding．He cleared his throat．“If you plant them when you get home，they will come up next spring I just wanted you to know that I think you will be there to see them when they come up．” “Thank you!” I whispered．Jack replied：“You are welcome．Next spring you will see the colors I picked out for you．”

I have seen those red and white tulips every spring for ten years now．This past September the doctor said my cancer was gone．Just at that moment when I was praying for the right word，a man with few words said all the right things．After all，that’s what friends do．
