Two old beggars were sitting on a busy corner. They watched helplessly as scores of people walked by, some purposely ___36___ them and others too caught up in their own cares to even notice their __37__. Every so often, a __38__woman or a small child would drop a few coins in the __39__ which lay in front of them.

　 As the crowd began to die down, they started to __40_ their things and head for their evening shelters. Just as they were getting ready to leave, they noticed a man walking toward them. He was obviously a _ 41 　　man ----they could tell that from his finely tailored business suit.

　 The first beggar whispered to the second with _____, “ He’s coming our way!”

　 The two tried not to look ___43____ at the man as he stepped closer to them, but they couldn’t ___44___ gazing up with anticipation (期待) as he reached into his pocket and took something out.

　　 “Trunk” was the only sound they heard __45___ what looked like a piece of hard _46__, wrapped in tissue paper hit each of their waiting hats. The rich man __47__ and continued on his way, not making a backward glance.

“How insulting (侮辱人的)!” said the first beggar. “He could have __48___ left us a few coins or a spare bill, but he mocks (嘲弄) us with a piece of rock candy. Who does he think we are ----__49___? There’s no way we can even eat this ---------we have no __50___.” He picked up the object and threw it into the gutter(排水沟).

“I haven’t had anything like this for ages,” the _51_beggar thought. “I can’t chew it, but I can suck on it for while, and the sugary juices will stay in my _52__ for a long time. How nice of that man to offer me something so sweet.”

With that, he _53_ the white tissue paper, but to his _54__, there was no hard rock candy inside. _55_, into his fell a shiny white pearl worth thousands of dollars.

I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman. It was hard to make a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out 　36　 　he caught enough to feed the family. No just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad. When the weather was bad he would 　37　 　me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing 　38　 . Older than it was, that truck, out of 　39　 　, coughed all the way with loud noise and heavy smoke. As he would drive, I would fall down into the seat hoping to 　40　 . He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and 　41　 . Then he would lean over to give me a big kiss and tell me to be 　42 　. It was so 　43　 　for me now. Here, I was 12 years old, and he would 　44　 　me good-bye!

I remember 　45　 I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his 　46　 　big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my 　47　 　up and said, “No, Dad.”

It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this 　48 　　look on his face. I said, “Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My father looked at me for the longest time. When 　49　 　came into his eyes, he turned and 　50　 　. “You’re right’ he said, “You’re a big boy….　 51　 . I won’t kiss you anymore.” It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when 　52　 　of the ships stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed.

You don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…. To touch his rough old face…, to 　53　 　the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I 　54　 　I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too 　55　 　for a goodbye kiss.”
