David came from a poor family.When he finished his high school, however, he was given a wonderful present.“Some of my friends got new clothes and a rich boy even got a new car, ” he remembered, “My dad reached into his trousers pocket and took something out.I held out my hand, and his present dropped into it-a nickel(五分镍币).”
Dad said to me, “Buy a newspaper with that.Read every word of it.Then turn to the classified section(分类栏目)and get yourself a job.Get into the world.It's all yours now.” I always thought that was a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when I was in the army, sitting in a foxhole(战壕), and thinking about my family and my life.It was then that I realized that my friends had got only new cars, or only new clothes.My father had given me the whole world.What a great present!
