Once, my father and I were waiting to buy tickets for the circus．Finally, there only one family 1 us and the counter, who made a big 2 on me．There were eight children, all probably under 12．You could 3 they weren't rich．Their clothes weren't expensive but 4 ．The children were well-behaved．, standing in line behind their parents and 5 talking about what they would see that night．
One could 6 they had never bee no the circus before．The mother was holding her husband's hand while the father was smiling in 7 ．The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted．He proudly 8 , “Eight for children and two for adults, please．”
The ticket lady told him the price．The man's wife let go of 9 hand, her head dropped, and his lip began to tremble．The father leaned a little 10 and asked, “How much did you say? ”
The ticket lady 11 the price．The man didn't have enough money． 12 was he supposed to turn and tell his kids that he didn't have enough 13 to take them to the circus? Seeing this, my father put his hand in his pocket, 14 a ＄20 bill and dropped it on the ground．Then my father 15 down, picked up the bill and said the man, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket．”
The man knew what was going on．He wasn't begging for it but certainly 16 the timely help in such an 17 situation．He took my father's 18 in both of his, squeezed(紧捏)tightly onto the 19 , and with a rear running down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, sir．This really 20 a lot to me and my family．”
