Question

【題目】Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. One day, when Paul came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car?” he asked.

Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Paul, I wish ...” he hesitated (猶豫).

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul.

The boy said, “I wish that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise. Then he asked, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

“Yes, I’d love to.”

Paul smiled. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again.
