　　My wife and I had just finished the 150-mile trip home from our daughter's college. It was the first time in our lives that she would go away for any length of 1 . We wondered how other people had 2 it.

　　Later in bed, I 3 the time I started college. My father had driven me, too. My mother had to stay 4 to keep the cattle from getting into the crops. I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to 5　　college.

　　The truck was slow, and I was glad. I didn't want to get to 6 too soon. I shook hands with my father in the truck and he didn't say a word. But I knew he was going to make a little 7 . He finally said, “I never went to college and 8 of your brothers went to college. I can't say don't do this or that, because everything is 9 and I don't know what is going to 10 , but I think things will work out. When you get a job, be sure to be 11 and work hard. ”I knew that soon I would be 12 in the big town and I would be 13 the life.

　　Then my father brought out the Bible (圣经) that he had read so 14 . I knew that he would miss it and I must 15 it. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it. ”

　　When I finished school I took the Bible back to my father. But he said he wanted me to 16 it.

　　Now, too late, I remember. It would have been so 17 to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn't. I could give her 18 . My father could give me only a Bible. But I don't really believe now that I gave her 19 as much as my father gave me. So the next morning I 20 up the book and sent it to her. I wrote a note. “This can help you. ”I said. “If you will let it.”
