Once when I was a child, my father and I were...

Once when I was a child, my father and I were waiting to buy tickets for the circus(马戏团). Finally, here was only one family between the ticket office and us.

There were eight children in this family and they were all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns(小丑).It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.

The ticket lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, "Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adults 'tickets, so I can take my family to the circus."

The ticket lady told him the price.

The man's wife lowered her head. There wasn't a smile on the man's face any more. He quietly asked, How much did you say?"

The ticket lady again told him the price

The man didn't have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?

Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped(丢) it on the ground（we were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the back and said, "Excuse me, sir, you dropped this"

The man understood my father was helping him. He held the note and looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied, "Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family."

2.Why was the poor man unhappy after he spoke with the ticket lady?

From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. after all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned it was very important to work. No excuse.

When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display, for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked , but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.

After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one--- he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned you should buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.

When I was 10, my father lost his work. My mother was dispirited. I decided to make her happy by buying her a special Mother's Day gift.

One day after school, I rode my bike to the Agins. It was a popular shop because of its high-end fashions and style. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, the shopkeeper, and told her I was looking for a Mother's Day present.

I was a child but she treated me like an important person. She asked "What does your mother want?" I told her I wasn't sure. After walking around the store for a few minutes, she came with a box. She opened it and there was a yellow Italian purse made of soft leather.

"What about this purse? I think your mother will like it. How much money do you have?" she asked. "Twelve dollars," I said. "You're lucky, "she told me. "It's enough. You can have a dollar left for a card.“

She gift-wrapped the purse and gave it to me. I rode my bike with the package under my arm. It wasn't until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth 300 dollars. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to thank her. How wonderful Sylvia Agins was to me. Letting me have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. I'll never forget her and her kindness.
