Everyone has his idol, so do I. I admire my father. He was a highly educated, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your 21 in the process. I thought there was nothing he wasn’t 22 to do.

A few days before my younger brother’s 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble（装配）a new 23 as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of 24 the instructions, Dad was still unable to 25 the new bike together. Later he 26 the paper of instructions, 27 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra 28 to have it correctly assembled there. 29 an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.

“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”

As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the 30 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No, thanks. I can’t read. When you can’t read, you have to 31 .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was 32 assembled, with no 33 parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.

On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great 34 in telling it over and over again — he used it as an example of thinking.

He did not refer to illiteracy（文盲）, but strongly taught us to use our 35 . The joke was on my father, 36 he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new 37 for Lovett. To me he had 38 been the old yard man who didn’t 39 much, but after that day, he seemed to smile 40 , even walk taller. It’s amazing what a real nod of approval can do to lift people up.
