       David came from a poor family. When he finished his high school, however, he was given a wonderful present. "Some of my friends got new clothes and a rich boy even got a new car," he remembered, "My

dad reached into his trousers pocket and took something out. I held out my hand, and his present dropped into it-a nickel(五分镍币)."

       Dad said to me, "Buy a newspaper with that. Read every word of it. Then turn to the classified section(分类栏目)and get yourself a job. Get into the world. It's all yours now." I always thought that was a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when I was in the army, sitting in a foxhole(战壕), and thinking about my family and my life. It was then I realized that my friends had got only new cars, or only new clothes. My father had given me the whole world. What a great present!"
