Question

Mr. Clinton and his 3-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday, so Mr. Clinton decided to       him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a      from scalpers.

It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a      that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the      ticket was $200. They were about to         when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and      them to Mr. Clinton.

“How much do you want?”

“Just a       ,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.”

Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife haven’t      a World Series in 18 years.      he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked      they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I      you for a while. You seemed very      . You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed      going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream      came true.”

How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said： “This is the most wonderful thing      ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”
