There was a man who had a little son. He loved him very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.

When the man came home from work one night, he found that he had some extra work to do. And he wasn’t able to play with his little son. He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his study, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He patiently tore the map up into pieces. Then he led his son into the dining room and spread the pieces on the table. He explained to the boy that it was a map of the world. He told the boy to put it back together and they could play together when he finished. Surely this could keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

After about thirty minutes, the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished, Dad. Can we play now?”

The man was surprised, saying, “That’s amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was easy. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world appeared completely.”

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.I

often wonder how my father ever had a son like me.I mean he’s so special and so good at

everything he does.Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football

team.

    Well,to be honest,I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something

special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star.I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”

    When I got home,I started to think about what to write.My father is an astronaut.N0,I

wouldn’t start like that.That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father? Hmm.

    I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how he

hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car.Yes,these were the things I

 was going to write.To me,he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut.He was my dad.

    My parents and l went to school Thursday night.There were so many people in the big[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]

hall! My dad looked at me,and I shrugged(耸肩).

    The third prize was announced and it was not me.1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time.The second prize was announced.It was me.

    1 went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,the people stood up and cheered.I saw my father blowing his nose.Tears were running down my mother's face.Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this

is the proudest moment of my life.’’

    It was the proudest moment of my life,too.Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a

Nobel Prize,but it was enough just to be my father’s son.
