Sometimes my father scares me. He can tackle something he knows
nothing about, and nine times out of ten, it will come out all right. It’s pure
luck, of course, but try convincing him. “Frame of Mind,” he says. “Just
believe you can do a thing, and you’ll do it.” “Anything?” I asked. “Some day
your luck will run out. Then see what good your Frame of Mind will do,” I
said.
Believe me, I am not just being a smart alec. It so happens that I have
actually tried Frame of Mind myself. The first time was the year I went all out
to pass the civics final. I had to go all out, on account of I had not cracked a
book all year. I really crammed, and all the time I was cramming I was
concentrating on Frame of Mind. Just believe you can do a thing – sure. I made
the lowest score in the history of Franklin High. “Thirty-three percent,” I said,
showing my father the report card. “There’s your Frame of Mind for you.” He
put it on the table without looking at it. “You have to reach a certain age and
understanding,” he explained. “That’s the key to Frame of Mind.” “Yeah?
What does a guy do in the meantime?” “Maybe you should study. Some kids
learn a lot that way.”
That was my first experience with Frame of Mind. My latest one was for
a promotion at the Austin Clothing Store. Jim Watson had a slightly better
sales record and was more knowledgeable and skillful. Me, I had Frame of
Mind. Jim Watson got the job. Did this convince my father? It did not. To
convince him, something had to happen. To him, I mean. Something did
happen, too, at the Austin Clothing Store. My father works there, too. What
happened was that Mr Austin paid good money for a clever Easter window
display. It’s all set up and we’re about to draw the curtain when we discover
the display lights won’t work. I can see Mr Austin growing pale. He is thinking
of the customers that could go right by his store in the time it will take him to
get hold of an electrician.
This is when my father comes on the scene. “Is something the matter?”
he says. “Oh, hello, Louis,” Mr Austin says. He calls my father “Louis.” Me,
Joe Conklin – one of his best salesmen – he hardly knows. My father, a stock
clerk, he calls “Louis.” Life isn’t always fair. “These darned lights won’t
work.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Maybe I can be of service.” From
inside his pocket comes a screwdriver. Mr Austin looks at him. “Can you help
us, Louis?” “No, he cannot,” I volunteer. “You think he’s Thomas Edison?” I
don’t intend to say that. It just slips out. “Young man, I was addressing your
father,” Mr Austin says, giving me a cold hard look. My father touches
something with his screwdriver and the display lights go on.
What happened next was that the big safe in Mr Austin’s office got
jammed shut with all our paychecks in it. From nowhere comes my father. “Is
something the matter?” he says. “The safe, Louis,” Mr Austin is saying. “It Демонстрационный вариант ЕГЭ 2007 г. АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ЯЗЫК, 11 класс.

won’t open, I was going to send for you.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Can
you help us, Louis?” Mr Austin inquires. I start to say he cannot, but I stop
myself. If my father wants to be a clown, that’s his business. “What is the
combination of this safe?” my father says. Mr Austin whispers the combination
in my father’s ear. Armed with the combination, he starts twirling the knob. I
can’t believe it: grown men and women standing hypnotized, expecting that
safe door to open. And while they stand there, the safe door opens.
“Go ahead, say it was luck, my opening the safe today,” my father says.
“OK,” I reply. Then I tell him what I saw in the faces of those people in Mr
Austin’s office: confidence and trust and respect. “The key to Frame of Mind is
you have to use it to give support to those who need it when there’s no one else
to save the situation.
