  Watson entered Mr Smith's office.The Boss was a hard man.He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.

  “Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn't earned money.We're going to drop that department.It's finished.I' m sorry,-but you'll have to go.”“But, sir-if I just had a little more time.For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”

  “What's that!” said the Boss.“Riverside!I didn't know you had a boy there.That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”

  “1 know, sir.But he likes it there so much!He's a star trackman(田径运动员)and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ(冠军)there.”

  The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time-a faraway(恍惚的)look in his eyes.Then, suddenly, he said, “We've got to close your department, Watson.But you'll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours-maybe more pay.Now get out.You're here for life.”

  Watson got out, with surprise in his face.Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School-written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read:

  I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple(跛脚的人).But don't worry about me, Dad.They've got a good chemistry department here.And there's one boy here who is really great.He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ.Something big-that he won't even know about.

Your son,

Herbie
