One day, my father and I were in line to buy tickets for the circus(馬戲表演). And a family was standing in front of us.

The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but clean．The children talked about the clowns(小 丑), elephants, monkeys and other things excitedly. It was their first time to go to the circus.

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly answered, “I want eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”

The ticket lady said the price. The man's wife lowered her head and there was no smile on th e man's face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”

The ticket lady said the price again. The man didn’t have enough money. How could he tell his eight kids the bad news? My dad put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground．(In fact, we were not rich!) Then my dad said, “Excuse me, sir, this dropped out of your pocket.”

The man knew what was going on. He looked into my dad’s eyes, held my dad’s hand in his, and took the $20 bill. “Thank you, sir, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

My father and I went back home. We didn’t go to see the circus that night, but we didn’t care.

How much money do you need every month, 500 yuan or 700 yuan? Some may need more to buy birthday presents, fast food, ice cream and comic books. But for Zhen Xing, 200 yuan is enough each month. “I only eat fried potato slices and rice,” said Zhen. “Meat is too expensive for me.”

Zhen, a 15-year-old girl, is a middle school student in Beijing. Every day, Zhen gets up at 5:30 am and rides her bike for 20 minutes to get to school. She studies hard, and even reads books during breaks! Her parents are migrant (移民) workers. They came to Beijing from a village in Henan two years ago. Her father now works as a cleaner and gets 1,200 yuan every month. Her mother has no job. Like many teenagers, Zhen has a lot of homework, but that is not all her work. During the week she helps her mom cook. On weekends, she helps wash clothes.

Zhen said she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up. “I watched TV and found out there are many people with AIDS in China. They really need help,” said Zhen. But she was afraid of having to leave school. Zhen didn’t go to school for one year five years ago. Fortunately, now all the children can go to school for free in China. “I won’t worry a lot about it anymore,”said Zhen happily. “I’m trying my best to study hard to be a good student at present and a good doctor in the future.”

When I was a little kid, a father was like the light in the fridge. Every house had one, but no one really knew what either of them did when the door was shut.

My dad left the house every morning and always seemed glad to see every one again at night. He opened the jar of pickles when no one else at home could. He was the only one in the house who wasn’t afraid to go into the basement by himself.

Whenever it rained, he got into the car and brought it around to the door. When anyone was sick, he went out to get the prescription(處方) filled. He set mousetraps. He cut back the roses so the thorns(刺) wouldn’t hurt you when you came to the front door. He oiled my roller skates, and they went faster. When I got my bike, he ran alongside me for at least a thousand miles until I got the hang of it. He signed all my report and cards. He took a lot of pictures, but was never in them. He tightened up Mother’s sagging(松垂的) clothesline every week or so.

I was afraid of everyone else’s father, but not my own.

Whenever I played house(玩過家家), the mother doll had a lot to do. I never knew what to do with the daddy doll, so I had him say, “I’m going off to work now,” and threw him under the bed.

When I was nine years old, my father didn’t get up one morning and go to work, he went to the hospital and died the next day.

There were a lot of people in the house who brought all kinds of good food and cakes. We had never had so much company before.

He never did anything; I didn’t know his leaving would hurt so much.
