  I was.The  1  I was seven.Father gave me a new penny, bright as gold.He had taken it out of his pocket several times,  2  to be examining the date on it waiting for me to  3 it.He couldn’t offer me anything until I had 4  some sign that the gift would be  5

6、One day a lawyer’s wife fell ill, and he went to get a doctor.The doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for her, but before he went into the house, he made a short stop.He knew that the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills, even if they were due(正当的).He therefore said to the man.“But if I save your wife, I am afraid you may not pay me.”

“Sir,” replied the lawyer.“Here I have $ 500, whether you cure my wife or you kill her.I’ll give you all this.”
