When I was growing up, I was embarrassed ( 局促不安的) to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled(跛的) and very short, and when we 36 walk together, his hand on my arm for 37 , people would  38 . I would inwardly squirm(局促不安) at the unwanted attention. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to(适应)you.”   Our usual walk was to and from the subway, 39 was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and,  40  bad weather, he always never 41 a day.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, 42 with help. 43 my sister or I would pull him through the streets on a child’s sleigh(雪橇)to the subway entrance.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity,  44 did he show any envy of the more fortunate one or able. What he 45 in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard  46 which to judge people, 47 I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have  48 myself.

    Unable to engage in many  49 , my father still tried to take part in some way.

When a local sandlot baseball team found itself without a manager, he  50  it going. I now know he  51 some things indirectly through me. When I played ball, he “played” too.

He had been 52 many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness  53  with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I get unhappy with something unimportant, when I am envious of another’s good  54 , when I don’t have a “good heart”. On these occasions I put my hand on his arm to 55 my balance, and say, “ You set the pace. I’ll try to adjust to you.
