All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined. Most folks are friendly. But this man was different.

“How much do you make a week, boy？” he asked me. I felt he was ______ at me. He kept giving a sharp ______ around every now and then. All the time I kept ______ where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew. I'd seen his ______ in the post office many times. He was the big robber ______ by the police in three states!

“You know，” he was saying, “it's imagination that people lack. You'll never get anywhere as a ______ boy.”

I kept brushing away on his shoes as ______ as I could. The sooner I finished, the better. He said, “When I was sixteen, I had ______ $2,500 of my own.”

That reminded me of something. Was it $2,500 or $5,000 or $7, 500? I wasn't ______. I knew a big reward was ______ for him.

But what could I do about it? ______ him with a can of shoe polish? A man of his ______ could grind (碾碎) me into the floor. If only someone would come in!

He kept talking away. “Along with ______， it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring.”

Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey ______ across the street. Then, real fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.

The policeman was at the window when I cried out, “Officer Dailey, ______！ This man's a robber.”

“______，” the man shouted angrily. He started to jump off the stand. But he didn't go the way he ______. He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.

“That was pretty ______ of you，” the officer said. “You'll get a reward of $7,500 for him.”

“Well, it really wasn't my ______，” I said. “It was his. He told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something big on a ______.”
