I was 14 when Mr. Ingram hired me as a farmhand. It was the first time I was actually      for work. One day Mr. Ingram found an old truck that was      in the soft,sandy soil of our field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to      from our farm before his truck got caught in the mud.

    Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be       soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn’t long       a local guy with a terrible reputation for fighting and stealing showed up with his two fully-grown sons. They looked really       .

    Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I see you want to       some watermelons from us.”

There was a long       before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you       for them?”

“Twenty-five cents each.”

“Well, I suppose that would be       enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man said.

It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an awful, perhaps violent incident had been      . After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your     , you’re going to run out of friends.”
