The Creightons were very proud
of their son, Frank. After his graduation from university, Frank was drafted
into the army and soon after that, he received his call to go to the 36 .
At first the parents heard
from him every week and were 37 for his well-being but then a telegram
came,saying,“We regret to inform you that your son has
been 38 for three weeks and may have been killed
in 39 .”The
parents were shocked and grieved (伤心的). They felt very 40
without Frank. About
three weeks later, 41 , the phone rang. A voice on the
other 42 said, “Mother,it’s Frank. They 43 me,and
I’m going to be all right. I’m in the United States and I’m coming home
soon. "
Mrs. Creighton was
overjoyed, 44 tears running down her cheeks,“Oh,that’s
just wonderful, Frank!”
There was 45 for a moment, and then Frank said,“Mother, I want to ask you something important
to me. While I’ve been in the 46 , I’ve made some real 47 friends. There is one fellow I would like
to bring home to meet you and Dad. And I would like to know if it would be all right
if he could stay with us. He has 48 else to go.”
His mother assured him it
would be all right.
Then Frank said,“You see, he was 49 in battle. His face is all
disfigured. He lost his 50
, and his right hand is
missing. So you see,he feels 51 about how others will 52 him.”
Frank’s mother stopped to
think a minute. Then she said,“Sure Frank, you bring him home-for a 53 ,that’s it. About him staying with us
permanently(永久地), well, we’ll have to think
about that.” Frank said, “Okay, Mother,” and hung up.
A week went by without any 54 from Frank,and
then a telegram arrived, “We regret to inform you that
your son has 55 his life. We would like you to come and
identify the body.”
“Why had he done this?” When they walked into the room to
identify the body of their son, they found a young man with a disfigured face,
one leg missing, and his right hand gone.
