“Please sir,please… I'm sorry!I didn't know what __40__ to do!” said the kid,“I threw the brick because no one would stop!” Tears were running down the boy's chin(下巴) as he __41__ around the parked car.“It's my brother,sir,” he said,“He fell off his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.” Then the kid asked the policeman,“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?He's hurt and he's too __42__ for me!”
The policeman was deeply__43__ by the words.He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief(手帕) and wiped the wound,checking to see that 44 was going to be okay.
“Thank you,sir.” the grateful (充滿感激的)child said to him.The policeman then watched the little boy push his brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to his Jaguar…a long,slow walk.He never __45__ the side door.He kept the dent(凹陷) to warn him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your __46__.
