Tony Trivisonno did not rise yet he manage d to make his own dream come true.TONY TRIVISONNO'S AMERICAN DREAMFrederick C. CrawfordHe came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don't know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. Hethin."I mow your lawn," he said. It was hard to comprehend his broken English.I asked him his name. "Tony Trivisonno," he replied. "I mow your lawn." I told Tony that I couldn't afford a gardener."I mow your lawn," he said again, then walked away. I went into my house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult,but how could I turn away a person whoWhen I got home from work the next evening, the lawn had been mowed, the garden weed ed, and the walk s swept. I asked my wife what had happened."A man got the lawn mower out of the garage and worked on the yard," she answered. "I assume d you had hire d him."I told her of my experience the night before. We thought it strange that he had not asked for pay.The next two days were busy, and Itrying to rebuild our business and bring some of our workers back to the plant s. But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw Tony again, behind the garage. I compliment ed him on the work he had done."I mow your lawn," he said.I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little task s. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy object s to lift or things to fix.pretty soon," Tony told me one evening. "When winter come, you give me job clearing snow at the factory."Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course, Tony got his job at the factory.The months passed. I asked the personnel department for a report. They said Tony was a very good worker.One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage. "I want to be 'prentice," he said.We had a pretty good apprentice school that train ed laborer s. But I doubt ed whether Tony had the capacity to read blueprint s and micrometer s or do precision work. Still, how could I turn him down?Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice. Months later, I got a report that he had graduate d as a skilled grinder. He hadlearned to read the millionth s of an inch on the micrometer and to shape the grinding wheel with an instrument set with adiamond. My wife and I were delightedA year or two passed, and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place. We talked about his work, and I asked him what"Mr. Craw," he said, "I like a buy a house." On the edge of town, he had found a house for sale, a complete wreck.I called on a banker friend. "Do you ever loan money oncharacter?" I asked. "No," he said. "We can't"Now, wait a minute," I replied. "Here is a hard-working man, a man of character, I can promise you that. He's got a good job.will stay there for years. At least he will pay your interest."Reluctantly, the banker wrote a mortgage for $2,000 and gave Tony the house with no down payment. Tony was delighted. From then on, it was interesting to see that any discard ed odds and ends around our place — a broken screen, a bit of hardware, board s from packing— Tony would gather and take home.He seemed to stand a little straight er. He was heavier. He had a look of confidence."Mr. Craw, I sell my house!" he said with pride. "I got $8,000."I was amaze d. "But, Tony, where are you going to live without a house?""Mr. Craw, I buy a farm."the tomato es and pepper s and all the other vegetable s important to his Italian diet. He had sent for his wife and son and daughter back in Italy. He had hunt ed around the edge of town until he found a small, abandon ed piece of property with a house and shed. Now he was moving his family to his farm.Sometime later. Tony arrived on a Sunday afternoon, neatly dressed. He had another Italian man with him. He told me that he had persuade d his childhood friend to move to America. Tony was sponsor ing him. With an amuse d look in his eye, he told me that when they approach ed the little farm he nowoperate d, his friend and said, "Tony, you are a millionaire!"Then, during the war, a message came from my company. Tony had passed away.I asked our people to check on his family and see thateverything was properly handle d.tractor and a good car in the yard. The children were educated and working, and Tony didn't owe a cent.After he passed away, I thought more and more about Tony'scareer. He in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialist s.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same value s and principle s: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity.Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement.Tony's affair s were tiny; the greatest industrialist s' affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheet swere exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.Tony Trivisonno came to America seek ing the American Dream. But he didn't find it — he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he waste d none of them.(1110 words)New Words and Expressionsdrivewayn. 宅旁私家车道mowv. 修剪（草坪），刈（草）comprehendvt. understand fullylawnn. 草地，草坪turn awayrefuse to help (sb.) or to allow (sb.) to enter a place 拒绝帮助；不让…进入weedv. 除去…的杂草；除草n. 杂草，野草assumevt. suppose假设；以为compliment▲vt. praise赞扬n. 赞美的言辞或行为work outplan; solve; calculate制定出；解决；算出weeklya. happening once a week or every week 每周的；一周一次的clean upmake clean and tidy打扫，清除helpfula. giving help; useful 有帮助的；有用的do with(used in questions with what) 对待，处理determinationn. 决心，决定personneln. 人事部门；全体人员，全体职员apprenticen. 学徒capacityn. the ability to understand or do sth. 能力，才能micrometern. 测微计，千分尺precisionn. the quality of being exact精密；精确（性）turn downrefuse拒绝graduatev. （使）毕业n. （尤指大学）毕业生skilleda. having skill; needing skill 熟练的，有技巧的；技术性的grindern. 磨工grind (ground)vt. 磨，磨碎，碾碎instrumentn. 工具，器械，仪器for saleintended to be sold待售wreckn. 残破物；（尤指失事船只、飞机等的）残骸call onvisit (sb.) for a short time 拜访bankern. 银行家；银行高级职员loanvt. lend (sth.) 借，贷n. 贷款；借，贷charactern. （人的）品德；品质；性格damna.，n.
