“Is this your car, Mister?” he said.

Paul nodded, “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was , “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? I wish…” He .

Of course Paul knew what he was going to . He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said shocked Paul all the way to his heels.

“I wish.” the boy went on, “that could be a brother like that.”

Paul looked at the boy in , then impulsively(有意地) he added, “Would you like to take a in my car?”

“Oh yes, I'd love that.”

After a short ride, the boy with his eyes shining, said, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of ?”

Paul smiled a little. He thought the boy wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong. “Will you stop those two steps are?” the boy asked.

He got out and the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back slowly. He was his little crippled(跛足的) brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and the car.

“ she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”

Paul got out and lifted the crippled boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable ride.
