A

Watson entered Mr. Smith's office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.

\that department. It's finished. I’m sorry, —but you'll have to go.\— if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.\

\that!\said the boss. \I didn't know you had a boy there. That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.\

\call him Champ there.\

The boss sat perfectly still for a long time — a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, \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 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 (冠军) 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, 1 want to do something for Champ. Something big — that he won’ t even know about.

Your son, Herbie
