　　Grandpa and me sat side by side, watching the sun go down behind the old Texaco service station across the busy street．A street that I had never been allowed to cross unless accompanied by an adult(除非有大人的陪同), or at the very least, an older brother or sister．On that day everything changed．

　　“Thirsty?” Grandpa asked, never removing the pipe(煙斗)from his mouth．

　　“Yes,” was my reply．

　　“How would you like to run over to the gas station there and get me a bottle of coke?”

　　I couldn’t believe my ears．Had I heard it right? Was he talking to me? Still, Grandpa was thirsty…

　　“OK,” I replied shyly, already wondering how I would get across the street．Surely Grandpa was going to come with me．He said I was to go alone．I’d never done that before and it scared me a little．But I was a brave little girl．

　　He gave me a dime(一角硬幣), stood up and looked both ways along the street．When he was sure the road was clear he told me to cross．I thought I’d never make it, but I did．Now I was on the other side, but next came the garage．I went inside and looked around me．Hmm, not so strange．I’d been in a garage before, with my father．I located the coke machine and put in my dime．Clunk(當(dāng)?shù)囊宦?/B>)! Out the bottle came．Coke in hand, I proudly marched back out into the early evening dusk(黃昏)．Grandpa was waiting patiently．He smiled．

　　I made it back to the other side and Grandpa shared the coke with me．It was the coldest, most refreshing(使人精神振奮的)drink I ever tasted．I was very happy．But I was happy about more than the delicious coke．I had begun to grow up a little－thanks to Grandpa, and a little to myself．

　　Probably you have seen photographs of the Grand Canyon (大峽谷)，the great valley in the desert country of Arizona (亞利桑那州)．But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty．The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world．

　　The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years．Slowly，the river cut down through hard rocks．At the same time，the land was rising．Today，the canyon is one and a half kilometers deep and 445 kilometers long．The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than one billion years old．The width varies (變化) from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across．The rim or top of the canyon is about 2 300 meters above sea level on the South Rim，and about 3 000 meters on the other side，the North Rim．As a result，there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon．The South Rim is a dry desert country．The North Rim has tall forest．

　　The canyon looks different at different times of day，and in different seasons and weather．At sunrise and sunset，the red，gold，brown and orange colors of the rocks are especially clear and bright．In winter，the canyon is partly covered with snow．

　　The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best．Most visitors come to the South Rim and stay in campgrounds or hotels．Every point along the canyon's edge offers a different view．

　　The North Rim of the canyon is quieter．It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River．On the way，you go through Navaho Indian land,and a colorful pink desert called“The Painted Desert”．

　　You can walk down into the Grand Canyon,or you can take a boat trip down the Colorado River， and camp on the beaches at night．But whether you see the Grand Canyon from the top or the bottom，or from the North Rim or South Rim，it will be an experience that you will never forget．
