The art of giving gifts is to give something that others cannot buy for themselves. ------A.A. MilneI have spent most of my career as a traveling salesman. There’s
36 lonelier than having meals myself in a coffee shop. One year, my five-year-old daughter Jeanine gave me a
37 . It was a soft toy penguin with a hand –painted
38 saying “I love My Dad!” Tears came into my eyes and immediately, I gave it a
39 place on my desk.
Soon I had to leave on another business
40 . This time when I was
41 , I put the penguin in my suitcase. After that day, Jeanine always helped me pack with the penguin. Many years
42 by and that little penguin has traveled with me hundreds of thousands of miles all across America and over to Europe. We have also made many friends
43 the way.
44 one afternoon after leaving my hotel, I discovered that the penguin was
45 . Frantically, I phoned the hotel. The clerk
46 , saying it hadn’t been reported. But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late,
47 I drove several hours to get my little
48 , arriving near midnight.
When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大厅), some
49 business travelers looked at us, I think, with some
50 and envy(羡慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to
51 it to me the very next day.
Jeannie is in college now and I don’t travel
52 much anymore. The penguin spends most of its time
53 on my dresser--- a reminder that
54 is the best traveling companion. All those years on the road, it was the one thing I never left home
