Passage 14

(06·山东)

One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16, I liked 36 better

than driving our truck, 37 this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(赊账) at the store.

Sixteen is a 38 age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and

My family was 43 . We paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the

store owner 44 us ?

At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer. I

nodded 45 I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my 46 to the caskh desk, I said 47 , “I need to put this on credit.”

The farmer gave me and amused, distrustful 48 . But Buck’s face didn’t change.

“Sure,” he said 49 . “Your daddy is 50 good for it.” He 51 to the other man. “This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”

The farmer nodded in a neighborly 52 . I was filled with pride. James William’s

son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust. That day I discovered that the good name my parents had 53 brought our whole family

the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to 54 from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself 55 much to do wrong.
