Once when I was a child, my father and I were waiting to buy tickets for the circus(马戏团). Finally, here was only one family between the ticket office and us.

There were eight children in this family and they were 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(小丑).It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.

The ticket 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 wasn't a smile on the man's face any more. He quietly asked, How much did you say?"

The ticket lady again told him the price

The man 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(丢) it on the ground（we were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the back and said, "Excuse me, sir, you dropped this"

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