5．Dad had a green comb．He bought it when he married Mum．Every night，he would hand me his （26）comb and say，"Good girl，help Daddy clean it，OK？"
I was （27）pleasedto do it．At age five，this dull task brought me such （28）joy．I would excitedly turn the tap （29）on and brush the comb carefully．Satisfied that I'd done a good job，I would happily return the comb to Dad．He would （30）smileaffectionately at me and place the comb on his wallet．
Two years later，Dad started his own （31）business，which wasn't doing so well．That was when things started to （32）change．Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to．Mum and I became（33）madwith him for placing our family in trouble．With（34）time，an uncomfortable silence grew between us．
After my graduation，Dad's business was getting back on track．On my 28th birthday，Dad came home （35）early．As usually I helped him carry his bags into his study．When I turned to leave，he said，"Hey，would you help me （36）cleanmy comb？"I looked at him a while，then （37）tookthe comb and headed to the sink．
It hit me then：why，as a child，（38）helping Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure．That routine（习惯） meant Dad was home early to （39）spendthe evening with Mum and me．It （40）meant a happy and loving family．
I passed the clean comb back to Dad．He smiled at me and （41）carefullyplaced his comb on his wallet．But this time，I noticed something （42）different．Dad had aged．He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled，（43）yethis smile was still as （44）heartwarming as before，the smile of a father who just wanted a good （45）life for his family．
