We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store.  21  we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than  22  and making a sale.

One lesson stands out in my  23  . 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  24   a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me  — too poor to  25  to buy anything. He looked  26  the toy section, picked up this item and  27 , and carefully put them  28  in their place.

Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes  29  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 30  to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his  31  and look around. He did.

After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy  32 , 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  33  it. His hand was creased(起皱) with  34  lines of dirt from holding his  35   too tightly. In his hand  36  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  37  it,” Dad said as he  38  the sale. Dad’s reply still  39  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  40  .
