My father was a highly educated, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your   16    in the process. I thought there was nothing he wasn’t   17    to do.

       A few days before my younger brother’s 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new  18   as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of   19   the instructions, Dad was still unable to   20  the new bike together. Later he   21   the paper of instructions,   22   up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra   23   to have it correctly assembled there.   24   an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.

When you can’t read, you have to   26  .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was   27   assembled, with no   28   parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.

       He did not refer to illiteracy(文盲) , but strongly taught us to use our  30  . The joke was on my father,  31    he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new   32   for Lovett. To me he had   33   been the old yard man who didn’t   34   much, but after that day, he seemed to smile   35  , even walk taller. It’s amazing what a real nod of approval can do to lift people up.
