When I was a child, my father had to do three jobs for a family of seven. Every time I saw him come back late, looking tired, I thought that I would show (展现) my thanks to my father for what he did.
Later, my father had a heart problem. One morning, his old car broke down and he asked me to pick him up from the hospital. At that time, I wanted to buy a car for him. I asked my father to go with me to pick a car. When I started talking with the seller, I found my father was interested in a brown car.
Several days later, I asked my father if he could go with me to pick up my new car. As we got there, the seller gave him a key to his new car-the brown one and said that it was for him, from me. My father looked at me in great surprise (惊讶). I told him that it was my dream when I was a child. I smiled at this man, a great man who had given up (放弃) everything for his family.
