My dad was a fisherman．He worked hard and stayed out until he caught enough 1 to feed the family nearly every day．When the weather was bad he would 2 me to school．An old truck was used in his fishing business．When we got to the school, he would give me a big 3 on the face and tell me to be a good 4 ．It was so embarrassing for me．I was 12 years old, and my dad would still kiss me goodbye!
I remember the day when I decided I was too 5 for a goodbye kiss．When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile．He started to lean(倾斜)toward me, but I put my hand up and 6 , “No, Dad．” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way．He had a surprised look on his face for a long time, and his 7 started to be wet．He turned and looked out of the windshield(挡风玻璃)．“You’re 8 ,” he said．“You are a big boy－a man．I won’t kiss you any more．”
It wasn’t long after that when my dad went out to 9 and never came back．It was a day when most of the fishermen stayed at home except Dad．He had a big family to feed How I wish I had been a man then．If I had been a man, I would 10 have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss．

“I think you bought a ticket. All right. You don’t have to buy (9) one,” said the conductor. But the old man still looked worried and said, “You don’t know why. If I can’t find my ticket, I don’t remember my station. (10) am I going?”
