We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 11  we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than  12  and making a sale.
One lesson stands out in my  13 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was  14  a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed (磨破)and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to   15  to buy anything. He looked   16  the toy section, picked up this item and   17 , and carefully put them   18  in their place.
Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes   19  and the dimple(酒窝)in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas _20____ to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his   21  and look around. He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy   22 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”
“How much you got?” Dad asked.
The little boy held out his hand and  23  it. His hand was creased(起皱) with   24  lines of dirt from holding his  25  too tightly. In his hand  26  two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’ll just  27  it,” Dad said as he   28  the sale. Dad’s reply still   29  in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a   30 .

While my wife went ahead into our friend' s house, I stepped into the street.
“Hey,” I said, “this parking space belongs to that guy.” I gestured towards the man ahead, who was looking back angrily.At that moment I was feeling pretty manly.
“ Mind your own business!” the driver told me.
“No,” I said.“You don' t understand.That fellow was waiting to back into this space.”
Things quickly heated up, until finally he jumped out of the car.My God, he was extremely large.He grabbed me and shook his rock of a fist at me.I tasted blood.I was terrified.
Almost in a panic, I ran to my friend ' s front door.As a former Marine (海军) , as a man, I felt absolutely embarrassed as my wife and friends asked me what had happened.All I could say was that I had had an argument about a parking space.They were sensitive and let it go at that.
Perhaps half an hour later, the doorbell rang.For some reason I was sure that the huge man had returned for me.My blood ran cold.My hostess got up to answer it, but I stopped her.I knew I had to face up to my fear.
I opened the door.There he stood.“I came back to apologize,” he said in a low voice.“I am ashamed of myself.The Brooklyn Navy Yard where I've worked for ten years is closing.Today I got laid off.I' m not myself.I hope you’ ll accept my apology.”
I remembered that after I closed the door, I stood there for a few minutes alone with tears in my eyes.
