My name is Lily. My father is a
teacher. His students love him a lot because he is funny. I love him, too, but I
think he can be “foolish” 41 .
Once we moved into a new house
and had to go shopping to buy new chairs and lights. In the supermarket, I’m interested 42 some of the
beautiful lights with good qualities and made my father buy them.
When we got home, my father began
to work out how much money we had 43 that day. Suddenly,
he stopped. “Something’s
wrong.” he said. “I’ve got 30 yuan 44 than I should!” “That’s
great,” I said. “You
can buy me that 45 book I want.”
Father said nothing. Instead, he
counted（数） how
much money he had again and again.
“The salesgirl must have made a mistake. We 46
go back to the shop,” he said.
“Do you have to go back?”
I asked. “Nobody will know we 47 too
much change(找零).
It would be foolish to go back.”
“It wouldn’t be ‘foolish’.” my father said angrily. “It’s called being 48
.” At that moment, I looked into
his eyes and knew he was right.
The salesgirl was surprised to
see us in the shop again. But 49 we gave her the
money, she thanked us a lot.
On my way home, my father stopped
me 50 smiled. “Do
you still want that cartoon book?” he asked. I looked at my “foolish” father and answered loudly, “Father, you are the greatest!”
