We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 11  we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than  12  and making a sale.

One lesson stands out in my  13 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was  14  a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed （磨破）and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to   15  to buy anything. He looked   16  the toy section, picked up this item and   17 , and carefully put them   18  in their place.

Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes   19  and the dimple（酒窝）in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas _20____ to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his   21  and look around. He did.

After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy   22 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”

“How much you got?” Dad asked.

The little boy held out his hand and  23  it. His hand was creased(起皱) with   24  lines of dirt from holding his  25  too tightly. In his hand  26  two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.

“That’ll just  27  it,” Dad said as he   28  the sale. Dad’s reply still   29  in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a   30 .
