My father and I went to a circus (馬戲團(tuán)). A family was standing in

front of us   1   for tickets（票）.

The family had eight children. Their clothes were not   2   but they

were clean. They were talking about the clowns (小丑) and elephants

The man knew what    8   . He looked into my dad's eyes and took the   9   . "Thank you, sir. This    10    means(意味著） 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.
