Question

Once, my father and I were standing in the line to buy tickets for the circus.1, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under 12. Their clothes were not2 , but they were clean. The children were3 , all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents,4 hands. They were excitedly jabbering (喋喋不休地说) about what they would see.
One could5 they had never been to the circus before. It6 to be a highlight of their young lives.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He7 responded, “Please let me buy8children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.” The ticket lady9 the price. The mother’s head10 , and her lip began to quiver (抖动). The father leaned a little11and asked, “How much?”
The ticket lady quoted the price12 . The man didn’t have enough money, Seeing what happened, my dad put his hand in his pocket,13 a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not rich in any sense of the word!) Then he reached down,14the bill and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your15 .”
The man knew what was going on. He wasn’t begging for a handout16 certainly appreciated the help in a desperate, heartbreaking17 . He looked into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s18in both of his, and with a tear running down his19 , he replied, “Thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
My father and I went back to our car and20 home. We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we didn’t go without.
