I’ve spent most of my career as a traveling salesman, and so I know that 1 is an occupational disease. But one year, my 2 gave me the cure for my homesickness.
It had black bright eyes, a red bow tie and orange feet--- a stuffed penguin (企鵝) that 3 about five inches tall. Attached to its left wing 4 a little sign with the hand-painted declaration “ I Love My Dad!”. I immediately 5 the penguin on my table.
On my next trip, I put the 6 in my suitcase. That night when I called home, my daughter Jeanine was 7 because the penguin had disappeared. “Honey, he’s here with me,” I explained, “ I brought him 8 ”.
9 , the penguin came with me --- as necessary as my briefcase. And we 10 along the way. In Albuquerque, I checked into a 11 , dropped my bag and ran to a meeting. When I returned, the maid had 12 the bed and stood the penguin on the pillow.
One night, I discovered the penguin 13 , and after a mad phone call, I learned I’d 14 it in my previous hotel room, 15 it had been rescued by a maid. I 16 a hundred miles to get it, and when I arrived at midnight, the penguin was waiting at the front desk. In the hotel lobby (大廳), other tired business travelers were 17 at the reunion of my penguin and me --- I think with a touch of 18 .
Jeanine is in college now, and I don’t travel 19 . The penguin sits on my table, a reminder that love is a wonderful traveling companion. All those years on 20 , it was the one thing I never left home without.
