A young man was getting ready to graduate from college.For many months he had loved a beautiful sports car,and knowing his father could well afford it,he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day came ,the young man waited for the good news of the car. Finally,on the morning of his graduation,his father called him into his study.He handed his son a beautiful gift box.Curious and disappointed,the young man opened the box and found a lovely ,leather-bound(用皮包装的)Bible《圣经》,with the young man ‘s name on its cover.Angrily,he raised his voice to his father and said,”With all your money you give me a Bible?”He then rushed out of the house ,leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.But he realized his father was very old,he thought perhaps he should go to see him.He had not seen him since that graduation day.Before he could set off,he received a telegram(电报)telling him his father had passed away.He needed to come home immediately and deal with things.

While searching for his father’s papers,he found that new Bible.With tears,he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.As he was reading,a car key dropped from the back of the Bible,It had a note with the salesman’s name ,the same man who had the sports car he had hoped. On the note was the date of his graduation , and the words :”PAID IN FULL.”
