A boy selling magazines walked up to a house people seldom visited. The house was old and the owner
36 came out. When he did come out he wouldn’t say hello to anybody
37 simply stared at them.
The boy knocked on the door and
38 . As he was ready to
39 away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said.
“Uh, sir, I’m selling these magazines and I was
40 if you’d like to buy one.” The old man
41 stared at the boy. The boy could see the inside of the house and
42 some dog figurines（小雕像）. “Do you
43 dogs?” the boy asked. “Yes, I do. They’re my family here and they’re all I have.” The boy felt sorry for the man, as he seemed to be very
44 . “I’ve a magazine here for collectors. It’s perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” But the old man said, “I need
45 of the magazines, now goodbye.”
The boy was sad. He went home and then an idea
46 to him. He had a little dog figurine. He walked back to the old man’s house with the
47 . He knocked on the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. “Boy, I
48 I told you no magazines.”
“No, sir. I know that. I wanted to bring you a
49 . ” The boy handed him the figurine and the old man’s face
50 . “It’s a Golden Retriever. I have one at home. This one is
51 you.” The old man was
52 ; no one had ever shown him so much
53 . “Boy, you have a kind
54 . Thank you!” From that day on the old man
55 coming out of the house and talking with people.
