3(河北省唐山一中高一月考)ton and his 13-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last
October 10th was Tony’s birthday,ton decided to drive him to New York, for the first
game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from
scalpers.
It was a two hours’ ride. After
they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign(牌子) that read, “ We need two
tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket was $200.
They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two
tickets and handed them to Mr. Clinton.
“How much do you want?”
“Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy
the game.”
Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so
the man explained, “I’m Jackson.
Hans is my boss. He and his wife haven’t missed a World Series in 18 years. But
he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets
to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked
as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I
followed you for a while. You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my
dad and me when I was a chi
ld.
I dreamed of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never
came true.”
How do you suppose this made Mr.
Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is the most
wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each
other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget
Jackson and Hans.”
