“What’s that!” said the boss.“Riverside!I didn’t know you had a boy there.That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
“I know,sir.But he likes there so much!He’s a star athlete and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ(冠军)there.”
The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes.Then,suddenly,he said,“We’ve got to close your department,Watson.But you’ll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours—maybe more pay.Now get out.You’re here for life.”
Watson got out,with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read:
I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛脚的人).But don’t worry about me,Dad.They’ve got a good chemistry department here.And there’s one boy here who is really great.He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad,when I grow up,I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won’t even know about.
Your son,
