外公是个木匠,这天他正在给他所在的教堂赶制木箱,准备装上衣服送往中国的一家孤儿院。在完工后回家的路上,他伸手摸衬衣胸袋时,发现眼镜不见了。他记得早上将眼镜放进了衣袋,于是连忙开车回教堂去找,可寻遍教堂的每一个角落也没有找到。那正是经济大萧条最严重的时候,外公养有六个孩子,而那副眼镜是他那天早晨刚刚花了20美元买的。
Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage in China. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting thern there that morning, so he drove back to the church. H is search proved fruitless.
