One Hour of Time
A man came home from work late again, tired and annoyed, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for
him at the door. "Daddy, may I ask you a 1 ?"
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much money do you _ 2 an hour? "
"That"s none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said 3 .
"I just want to know. Please tell me: how much do you make an hour?" insisted the little boy.
"If you 4 know, I make $20 an hour. "
"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed.
Looking up, he said, " Daddy, may I 5 $10 please? "
The father was angry. "If the 6 reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just that
you can borrow some to buy a 7 toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself 8 to your
room and go to bed. "
The little boy quietly went into his room and 9 the door. The man sat down and started to get even
madder about the little boy"s 10 . After an hour or so, the man had 11 . The man went to the door
of the little boy"s room and opened the door.
"Are you 12 son?" he asked.
"No, Daddy, I"m awake," replied the boy.
"I"ve been thinking, maybe I was too 13 on you earlier," said the man. "Here"s that $10 you 14 ."
The little boy sat straight up, 15 . "Oh, thank you Daddy! " he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some 16 bills. The little boy slowly 17 out his
money, and then looked up at the man. "Why did you want more money if you 18 had some?" the
father asked angrily.
"Because I didn"t have 19 , but now I do,"the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your 20 ?" |

to work.
One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag.This one was
worn and held together with staples (书钉).
"Why two bags?" her father asked."The other is something else, " Molly answered."What"s in it?""Just
some stuff (东西). Take it with you."
Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both sacks into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off.
At midday he opened Molly"s bag and took out the contents:two hair ribbons (丝带), three small stones,
a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies...The busy father smiled, finished eating,
and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly"s stuff included.
That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper."Where"s my bag?""What bag?""The one
I gave you this morning.""I left it at the office, my dear.""I forgot to put this note in it, " she said."And,
besides, Daddy, the things in the sack are the things I really like.I thought you might like to play with
them.You didn"t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?""Oh, no, " he said, lying."I just forgot to bring it home.
I"ll bring it tomorrow."While Molly hugged her father"s neck, he unfolded the note that read, "I love you,
Daddy." Molly had given him her treasures-all that a 7yearold held dear.
Love was in a paper bag, and he missed it-not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket.
So he went back to the office.Just ahead of the night janitor (看门人), he picked up the bag from the
wastebasket.He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully.The bag didn"t look so good, but
the stuff was all there and that"s what counted.
After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack.It took a long time to tell.
Everything had a story or a memory.
"Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life." he thought.We should all remember that it"s
not the destination that counts in life, but the journey.That journey with the people we love is all that
really matters.It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.
