    I  38  coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who’d point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the one two rows over.”

    Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of school children would burst   39  the  shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and   40  on. I didn’t   41  if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.

       Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare （车费） when a ticket went  44  — always repaid the next day．When ii snowed, the kids and I would wait  45  for a very late bus．They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay．At _ closing time I wouldn't  46  the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived．

       I  47  a lot of doughnuts on snowy days．I enjoyed my pals （伙伴）, but it never  48   to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock．I  49  it was true, and he introduced himself   50  the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team．

On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (老规矩) began.       breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I’ll       the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads (歌谣) like “I Had a Hat When I Came in.” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Marphy’s Chowder?”www.zxxk.com

I suppose it was        for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—        I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. As we        home slowly from church together, my father seemed very       . “Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his       . “There comes a time in every boy’s        when he must take on responsibilities. It’s time you        a greater role in the family. From now on, I want you to        the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle (纵横字谜) together.”

“The dishes!?” I        in surprise.

“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.

I started to say something about a man’s        or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗议) would be        .

I didn’t taste a bit of       that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.[www.zxxk.com]

At the end of the meal, my father        , “Let’s go to read the paper, honey.” “Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my 51 asked surprisedly. Father smiled and said, “your oldest son has        to fill the position.”

“I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting        .” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I        this.”

With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked        at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.
