He was so polite 24 that gentlemen soon began to notice him, and to let him black their boots. 他很有礼貌,人们很快就开始注意到他,让他给他们擦皮鞋。
The first day he brought 25 home fifty cents 26, which he gave to his mother to buy foodwith. 第一天,他把五毛钱带回了家,让妈妈用这些钱去买吃的。
When he gave her the money, she said, as 13 she dropped a tear 27 of joy 28, "You are a dear, good boy, Henry. 当他把钱交给妈妈时,妈妈流下了高兴的眼泪:“亨利,你是一个可爱的好孩子。
