Question

In 1932, my father had to declare bankruptcy (破產(chǎn)). He was ashamed of it, but it came about because of his1heart.
He had been in the milk business and every day he2milk to many homes. His route(線路)included many people3worked at the local steel company. Dad4delivering milk even when his customers were unable to5him.
After the bankruptcy, he started selling hamburgers from a6building he and his brothers had built. That was the7of the Poplar Inn, named8the row of poplar trees(楊樹)nearby. My mother was a good cook, and soon many dishes were9to the menu. Later, another two buildings were built and the Poplar Inn10much larger.
On Saturdays, Mother would spend the whole day in the kitchen11for parties. During dinner, my sister Phyllis and I helped12customers. Phyllis would dance, and I would sing the latest songs. Square dances were13then and many adults would dance. As the evening went14, and children became bored with watching their parents15, they were often taken to our bedrooms.
Since Dad had a big heart, it was not16for him to help others without asking for payment. Every time my father made a loan (借出的貸款), he17out a card, but he never tried to18those debts. Finally, he destroyed the cards — therefore there were no19at al1.
The Poplar Inn was20around 1953 to make way for a new highway. But if I stood there now, instead of hearing traffic, I think I’d hear music and the sound of people laughing.
