Upon reaching downtown El Paso, when I was 14. I met an old man, a bum(流浪者), on the street corner. He asked me if I was  36  away from home. I told him, “ Not exactly, sir,” since my father had given me a 37  to the freeway in Houston and given me his 38  while saying, “ It is important to follow your dream and what is in your heart, son.”

After conversing for a few minutes, the 39  bum told me to follow him. He told me that he had something grand to show me and 40  with me. We walked a couple of  41 until we came upon the downtown El Paso Public Library. Here the bum spoke to a smiling old lady, and asked her if she would be kind enough  42  my things for a moment while he and I entered the library. I left my 43  with this grandmotherly figure and entered into this magnificent hall of 44  .

The bum looked for something special amongst the 45  .  A few moments later, he returned with a couple of old books 46  his arms and set them on the table. He then sat down beside me and spoke, “ There are two things that I want to teach you, young man.”

“ Number one is to 47  judge a book by its cover, 48  a cover can fool you.” He followed with, “I’ll bet you think I’m a bum, don’t you?”

“Well, uh, yes,  49 , sir.”

“Well, young man, I’ve got a little 50  for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. I have probably everything any man could ever want.”

“Number two is to learn how to read, my boy. For there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your 51  .”

The bum then led me back  52  the smiling old woman near the 53  and back on the streets near 54  we first met. His 55  request was for me to never forget what he taught me. I haven’t.
