The father and the mother were ahead standing, proud as they could be.

　　The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets.”

　　The ticket lady told him the price.

　　The man’s wife lowered her head and there was no longer a smile on the man’s face.

　　The father leaned a little closer and quietly asked, “How much did you say?

　　The ticket lady again told him the price.

　　The man obviously didn’t have enough money. How could he turn around and tell his eight kids that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus.

　　Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not rich in any sense of the world!) My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The man knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his and pressed tightly onto the bill, and with his lips trembling and tears streaming down his cheeks, he replied, “Thank you, thank you , Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

　　My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we didn’t go without.
