Question

I was1when Mr. Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Heart. Okla. The old farmer2about a mile away and needed an assistant to help out grass. It was the first time I had been actually3for work.
Mr. Ingram was4with the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even5when a6cow was being born.
One day he found an old truck that was7in the 42， sandy soil of the melon field. Was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.
Mr. Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon, and he wanted me to8the truck and lean(倚靠) against it. Soon a man from a nearby village, who had a terrible9for fighting and stealing,10with his two full – grown sons. They looked11.
While12Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I see you want to buy some13.”
There was a long silence14the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you getting for them?”
“Three dollars each,”15said immediately. “Well, I guess that would be16enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man bargained.
It17out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an unpleasant, perhaps unfortunate incident had been18. After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t19your enemies, you’re going to run out of friends.” Mr. Ingram died a few years later, but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me20my first job.
