I still remember about ten years ago, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏). Soon, there was only one ______ in front of us. There were eight young children in it. I guessed they were not rich. Their clothes were a little old, but they were clean. The children talked ______ with each other about the clowns(小丑)they would see. I was sure that they ______ went out. So it was clearly a very exciting day out for them. Their parents stood ______ them and watched them talking.
The ticket lady asked ______ tickets the father wanted. He proudly answered, “Please give me eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I ______ take all my family to the circus.” The ticket lady told him the price. The father kept ______ for a short time. Then, again he asked, “How much did you say?” Then the tickets lady ______ the price more loudly. He said nothing, but the ______ on his face clearly showed that he didn’t have enough money.
When I was wondering what he would do, I saw a $20 note fall onto the ground from ______ father’s hand. Then he tapped(拍) the man and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.” The man saw the note ______ on the ground and understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money. His face turned red and replied with ______, “Thank you, sir, thank you. This really means a lot to my family. I will never _____ your kindness.”
______ I didn’t go to the circus that night, I saw something really wonderful. I began to ______ my father because of what he had done. Sometimes to offer help to others wasn’t easy, but how to help others would be even more difficult sometimes.
