One day last winter my dad and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(馬戲表演).Finally,there was only one family in front of us.There were eight children.All were perhaps under the age of 12.You could tell that they didn't have much money.Their clothes were not expensive but clean.All of them were standing in line,two by two behind their parents.I could feel that the children had never seen the circus before.They were very excited.

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly answered,“Eight children’s tickets and two adults' tickets so that I can take my family to the circus.” The ticket lady answered the price.The man's wife looked sad.The father asked again in surprise,“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 children that he didn’t have enough money? At that time,my dad put his hand in his pocket,pulled out twenty dollars and dropped it on the ground(In fact,we were not rich).

My dad picked up the money and said to the father,“Excuse me,sir.This fell out of your pocket.” The man knew what happened at once.He looked at my dad and took my dad’s hands.He was so thankful that he couldn't say a word.

My dad and I went back home.We didn't see the circus,but I would never forget that day.
