While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a beach near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding(滑行) down the slide.  “He’s a fine-looking boy,” the man said. “That’s my son on the swing(秋千) in the blue sweater.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son,” What do you say if we go, Todd?” Todd pleaded(恳求), “Just five more minutes, Dad. please? Just five more minutes.” The man nodded and Todd continued to swing to his heart’s contently(尽兴地).
Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son. “Time to go now?” Again Todd pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.” The man smiled and said, “Okay.” “Oh, you are certainly a patient father,” the woman said. The man smiled and then said ,”My older son Tommy was killed by a drunken driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d give anything for just five more minutes with him. I’ve vowed(发誓) not to make the same mistake with Todd.” “He thinks he has five more minutes to swing. The truth is …I get five minutes to watch him play.”
