He was in 小题2: old and not fit shirt, looking pale and about eleven. No sooner had I begun to speak than he opened the box in his hand and 小题3: (take) out the tools of shoe-polishing. He was busy doing his work 小题4: heavy rain began to pour down. People rushed to the café for protection from the rain. More and more people crowded in and gradually separated the boy from me. Hours passed, and 小题5: turned dark. I had no shoes on my feet and wondered where the boy had been. I thought I would have to go home on my bare feet. When it was near midnight, the café was to be closed. I had to move to the door, just as I went to the gate, I 小题6: (surprise) found that a boy of about eleven, 小题7: (look) very familiar, was sleeping at the door with his head leaning 小题8: a box. I shook him slightly and woke him up. He opened the package hurriedly, gave me my leather shoes, and apologized to me shyly. I paid him and wrapped him with his 小题9: (fit) shirt. On my way home, the image 小题10: the boy stayed in my mind. |
