Tonio’s first day was chaotic, with hundreds of children outside looking for their teachers. Before any of us could say goodbye, Tonio disappeared with his new classmates. He turned to wave and then was gone. It was so sudden. Sam even didn’t see him go. Although parents had been asked to ease the craziness of the first day by staying out of the school, I lifted Sam up and took him to Tonio’s classroom, looking for a glimpse of Tonio. Sam spotted him first.

　　My wife and I didn’t head back home immediately, stopping instead at a coffee shop to treat Sam to hot chocolate. We even let him eat ice-cream with his fingers. Sam was still quiet, so I asked him if he missed his brother already.

　　He didn’t answer. Instead he asked, “Daddy, is Tonio going to be gone forever?”

　　“No, Sammy,” I said, feeling happy about his sweet question. “Not forever, just until three o’clock.”

　　I sometimes think that the greatest thing I have ever done is to help create these brothers. And I didn’t stop with them. We had another child, and for the third time in a row, it was a boy. It wasn’t long before his brothers climbed into the crib (婴儿床) to play with him. I am surrounded by brothers.

　　75. What makes the author envy his sons?

　　A. He has no friends like Sam and Tonio.

　　B. He has only one brother in his family.

　　C. He doesn’t enjoy brotherhood as they do.
