20.Once,when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (馬戲).Finally,there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants,and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as could be.The mother was holding her husband's hand,looking up at him as if to say,"You are my knight in shining armor."
He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say,"You got that right."The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
The ticket lady gave the price.The man's wife let go of his hand,her head dropped,and his lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,"How much did you say?"
The ticket lady again quoted the price.The man didn't have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.

Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand in his pocket,pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.Then he picked it op and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,"Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.'The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on,he looked straight into my dad's eyes,took my dad's hand in both of his,squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill,and with his lip shakingand a tear running down his cheek,he replied,"Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family."
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.We didn't go to the circus that night,when I asked dad why he did so,Dad said,"My child,it was a desperate,heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father.Surely he wasn't begging for a handout,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young."He paused for a while,as if wandering in his memory."We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others.We didn't go to the circus tonight,but we didn't go without.".
