题目内容:
A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve, when Paul came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shining new car, admiring it.
"Is this your car, Mister?"he said.
Paul nodded, "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astonished, "You mean your brother gave it to you, and it didn't cost you anything?"
"Boy, I wish…"he hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said jarred Paul all the way down his heels.
"I wish, "the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh, yes. I'd love that. "
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, and said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again.
"Would you stop where those two steps are?"the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a little while, Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step and pointed to the car.
"There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day, I'm going to give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the prettiest things in the windows that I have been trying to tell you about. "
Paul got out and lifted the boy into the front seat of his car. The shinning-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him. And three of them began a memorable holiday ride.
