4．It's that time of year when people need to lock their cars．It's not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars．Rather，it's because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest．Especially with this year's large crop，leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini（西葫蘆）．
My sister，Sharon，recently had a good year for tomatoes．She and her family had eaten so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red．That's when she decided it was time to share her blessings．She started calling everyone she knew．When that failed，she began asking everyone in the neighborhood，eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes．"Feel free to take whatever you want，"Sharon told her．Later that day，Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested．She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn't go to waste．
A few days later，Sharon answered the door．There was the neighbor，holding a hot loaf of bread．The neighbor smiled pleasantly，"I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes，and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hoped you wouldn't mind．"
Sharon couldn't think of anything else in her gard en that had been worth harvesting and said so．"Oh，but you did，"the neighbor said．"You had some of the prettiest zucchini I've ever seen．"
Sharon was confused．They hadn't even planted any zucchini．But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden．Sharon felt curious and decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown．The two of them walked together into the backyard．When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables，Sharon smiled．"Well，actually，those are cucumbers（黃瓜）that we never harvested，because they got too big，soft and bitter for eating．"
The neighbor looked at Sharon，shock written all over her face．She gulped（哽�。゛ few times，and then，smiling，held out the bread，part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood．"I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread．I hope you like it．"
