Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）． I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.

    The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

    I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"

    He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"

    “Twenty pounds," I said.

    “OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds."

    “It's got a slightly broken leg," I said.

    ‘'Yes, I saw that, it's nothing."

    Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.

    “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."

    “I'll buy it," I said.

    “What do you mean? You've just sold it to me," he said.

    "Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."

    “You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."

    “You're right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, 'Would you repair this chair for me?"'

    “I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.

         There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.

         The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”

         The ticket lady told him the price.

         The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”

         The ticket lady again told him the price.

         The man obviously didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?

         Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”

         The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied. “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

         Although we did not go to the circus that night, we didn’t go without.
