The class teacher thought that hobbies were important for children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see as a result.

One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5p.m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.

So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.

When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. “I don’t believe Tommy has a hobby,” she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies in glass cases. The teacher liked the samples(标本) very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.

“What are you doing, Tommy?” she asked. “Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That’s when the parents are coming to see them.”

“I know that,” answered Tommy, “and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them to be out of our house at night.”

“But, aren’t the butterflies yours?” asked the teacher.

“No,” answered Tommy. “They are my brother’s”

“But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else’s”

“I know that,” answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer, “My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies.”

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to (指着) a little boy in a red sweater.

“He’s a fine looking boy,” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter: “We have to leave for home now, Melissa.”

“Just five more minutes, Dad,” Melissa said. “Please? Just five more minutes.”

The man nodded (点头) and Melissa went on riding her bike happily. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter, “Time to go now?”

“Five more minutes, Dad,” Melissa said again. “Just five more minutes.”

The man smiled and said: “OK.”

“Oh, you really are a patient father,” said the woman.

The man smiled and then said: “Her older brother Tommy died (死) in a traffic accident last year while he was riding his bike near here,” the man said. “I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d give anything for just five more minutes with him.
