My dad was a fisherman. He worked
hard and stayed out until he caught enough ______ to feed the family
nearly every day. When the weather was bad he would ______ me to
school. An old truck was used in his fishing business. When we got to the
school, he would give me a big ________on the face and tell me to be a
good _______. It was so embarrassing for me. I was 12 years old, and my
dad would still kiss me goodbye!
I remember the
day when I decided I was too _______for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the
school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to
lean 傾斜 toward me, but I put my hand up and ________, “No, Dad. ” It was the first time I
had ever talked to him that way. He had a surprised look on his face for
a long time, and his________started to be wet. He turned and looked
out of the windshield 擋風(fēng)玻璃. “You’re ______,” he said. “You are a big boy—a man. I won’t kiss you any
more. ”
It wasn’t long after that when my
dad went out to ______and never came back. It was a day when most of the
fishermen stayed at home except Dad. He had a big family to feed
How I wish I had
been a man then. If I had been a man, I would ________have told my dad I
