Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. "It's the ocean that makes Rockaway so special," she says.
    On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie's family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridge closed.
    When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie's friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie's school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
    In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
    "My mom tells me that I can't control what happens to me," Natalie says. "But I can always choose how I deal with it."
    Natalie's choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick's collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard.Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
    Today, the scars of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. "I can't imagine living anywhere but Rockaway," Natalie declares. "My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before."

月光饼

琦君①

    月光饼也许是我故乡特有的一种月饼。每到中秋，家家户户及商店，都用红丝带穿了一个比脸盆还大的月光饼，挂在屋檐下。廊前摆上糖果，点起香烛，和天空的一轮明月，相映成趣。月光饼做得很薄，当中央上一层稀少的红糖，面上撒着密密的芝麻。供过月亮以后，拿下来在平底锅里一烤，掰开来吃，真是又香又脆。月光饼面积虽大，分量并不多，所以一个人可以吃一个，我总是首先抢到大半个，坐在门槛上慢慢儿的掰开嚼。家里亲友们送来的月光饼很多，每个上面都有一张五彩画纸，印的是“嫦娥奔月”、“刘备招亲”、“西施拜月”等等的图画，旁边还印有说明。我把这些五彩画纸抽下来，要大人们给我讲上面的故事。几年的收藏积蓄，我有了一大叠。长大以后，我还舍不得丢掉，时常拿出来看看，还把它钉成一本，留作纪念。

    我有一个比我只大两岁的表姑，她时常在我家度过中秋节，她喜欢吃月光饼。有一次，她拿了三张五彩画纸要跟我换一个饼，我要她五张，她不肯，两个人就吵起来。她的脸很大很扁，面颊上还长了不少雀斑。我指着她的脸说：“你还吃月光饼！再吃，脸长得更大更扁，雀斑就跟饼上的芝麻那么多了”。这句话真伤了她的心，就掩面哭泣起来，把一叠画纸撕成片片地扔掉，我也把月光饼扔在地上，用脚一踩踩得粉碎，心里不免又心疼又后悔，也就哇的一声哭起来。母亲走来狠狠地训我一顿，又捧了个刚烤好的月光饼给表姑，表姑抹去眼泪，看看饼，抬眼望着母亲问道：“表嫂，你说我脸上的雀斑长大以后会好吗？”母亲抚着她的肩说：“你放心吧！女大十八变，变张观音面②。你越长大，雀斑就越隐下去了。”母亲又说又笑：“你多拜拜月亮菩萨，保佑你长得美丽。月光饼供过月亮，吃了也会使你长漂亮的。”表姑半信半疑地摸着月光饼上的芝麻，和我两个人呆愣愣地对望了好一会儿，她忽然掰下半个饼递给我说：“我们分吧！我跟你要好。”我看看地上撕碎了的画纸与踩烂的饼屑，感激万分地接过饼，跟表姑手牵手悄悄地去后院里，恭恭敬敬地向天上的月亮拜三拜，我们都希望自己长大了都有一张观音面。

    表姑长大以后，脸上的雀斑不但没有隐去，反而更多了。可是婚后夫妻极为恩爱，她生的两个女儿，都出落得玫瑰花儿似的，我们见面时谈起幼年抢吃月光饼和拜月亮的事情，她笑笑说：“月亮菩萨还是听我的祷告的。我自己脸上的雀斑虽然是越来越多，而她却保佑我有一一对美丽的女孩子。”

    台湾是产糖的地方，各种馅儿的月饼，做的比大陆上更腻口③，想起家乡的月光饼，那又香又脆的味儿好像还在嘴边呢！

    中秋节，一年又一年，来了又过去，什么时候回家乡去吃月光饼呢?
