Of course, she wasn't really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only 21 to her as "My Aunt Fannie" because it always made my father chuckle(咯咯笑) and my mother look 22 at both of us—at me for being 23 of my elder and at my father for my 24 bad behavior. I 25 both reactions so I grasped every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible. As a young woman, my mother had worked in the 26 of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty and her twin brother, Farnsworth. They represented the end of the Cratty line. Neither had married 27 had any living heirs(继承人) and my father once told me in a whisper that it was because they were both too 28 to share their family wealth. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever 29 by anyone in Glenfield. She was noted for her jam and for never 30 the recipe with anyone else. 31 my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she 32 made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and 33 the secret. One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a 34 and then made me promise that I would never spend it. " 35 this quarter," she said, "and some day you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather." It had obviously 36 for her. So I followed her advice. I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people's eye Aunt Fannie's 37 was attributed to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a 38 recipe. However, I keep them as 39 to hold firmly the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a 40 that anyone can build. 21.
