Question

Once my father and I went to see a circus（馬戲團(tuán)）. A family was standing in front of us 51 for tickets.

The family had eight children. Their clothes were not 52 but they were clean. They were talking about the clowns（小丑）and elephants excitedly.

“I want  53  tickets, eight for children and two for adults（成年人）.” Said the father to the ticket lady.

The ticket lady told him the 54 . When he heard that, the man couldn’t believe his 55 . He asked again, “How much?”

The ticket lady spoke again. The father looked sad. Clearly, he didn’t have 56   money.

My dad took a $ 20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he 57 the bill, and said to the man, “Sir, this fell out of your pocket.” 

The man knew what was 58 on. He looked into my dad’s eyes and took the 59 . “ Thank you, Sir. This 60 means a lot to me and my family. ”

We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we didn’t feel sorry for it at all.
