Question

Once my father and I went to see a circus (馬戲團). A family was standing in front of us   1  for tickets. The family had eight children. Their clothes were not  2   but they were clean. They were talking about the clowns（小丑）and elephants excitedly.

“I want  3   tickets, eight for children and two for adults（成人）.” said the father to the ticket lady.

The ticket lady told him the 4. When he heard that, the man couldn’t believe his   5 . He asked again, “How much?”

The ticket lady spoke again. The father looked sad. Clearly, he didn’t have  6   money. My dad took a $20 bill（紙幣） and dropped it on the ground. Then he  7  the bill, and said to the man, “Sir, this fell out of your pocket.”

The man knew what was   8  on. He looked into my dad’s eyes and took the   9  . “Thank you, thank you, sir. This   10   means a lot to me and my family.”

We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we didn’t feel sorry for it at all.
