Best gift! ——reading

Comedian David Brenner came from a poor but close family. When he graduated from high school, however,he was given an unforgetable gift."some of my friends got new clothes and a few rich kids even got new cars," he remembers."My father reached into his pants pocket and took something out .I extened my hand ,palm up ,and he let my present drop into it _ a nickel!"

Dad said to me,"Buy a newspaper with that.Read everyword of it. Then trun to the classified section and get yourself a job. Get into the world . It's all yours now."

"I always thought that was a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when I was in the Army, sitting in a foxhole,and thinking about my family and my cars, or only clothes. My father had given me the whole world . What greater gift!"


喜剧演员 David Brenner 来自一个贫穷但是关系很亲密的家庭。在他高中毕业的时候,得到一份一辈子都不会忘记的礼物。“我的一些朋友得到了新衣服,甚至有些有钱的孩子得到了一辆新车”,他回忆道,“我的爸爸把手伸进裤子口袋,然后拿出来了什么东西。我伸出我的手,掌心向上,我爸爸把我的礼物放到了我的手心里——一枚五分硬币。”

“爸爸对我说,‘用这个钱买一份报纸。读完它的每一个字。然后到分类广告栏里,给你自己找一份工作。走向现实的世界吧。现在它都是你的了。’“

“我一直认为那是爸爸跟我开的一个很大的玩笑,直到一些年以后当我在陆军,坐在一个伞兵坑里,思考我的家庭和我的车,或者只是衣服的时候我才知道,爸爸已经给我了全世界。那是多么伟大的一个礼物啊!
