An old gentleman bought a new house in the
summer near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks in 36
. Then a new school year began and his surroundings were not as 37 as before. Worse still,
every afternoon there were four boys beating on the garbage cans (垃圾桶)
38 in the street.
They continued day after day,
39 finally the old man
decided it was time to take
40 .
One afternoon, he walked out to 41 the boys who were beating the
garbage cans down the street.
42 them, he said, “You
kids are a lot of 43 I like to see you 44 your after-school happiness like that. I
used to do the 45 thing when I was your age. Will
you do me a favor? I’ll give you each a dollar if you 46 to come around every day and do
this.”
Of course, the kids accepted the 47 gladly and went on beating their “drums” 48 . A few days later, the old man came up
to them again as they 49 their way down the street. He
said, “I haven’t 50 my pension (退休金) yet, so I’m going to give you all 51 25 cents. Will that be OK?”
“Only 25
cents?” A boy 52 . “Do you think we will 53 our time beating these cans around
just for one 54 ? We’re not that 55 ! Bye, sir!” Then the old gentleman
enjoyed peace again for the rest of his days.
