Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes   19  and the dimple（酒窝）in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him.

“That’ll just  27  it,” Dad said as he   28  the sale. Dad’s reply still   29  in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a   30 .
