He had a big family to support(养), so they could only spend money on very essential(必要的)things {#blank#}1{#/blank#} food, clothes and houses. But last summer vacation, Bobby wanted to take his kids to watch a very popular show in the theater(剧院), {#blank#}2{#/blank#} kids these days always talked about it. He knew his kids wanted to see it very much, too.
When they arrived at the theater, Bobby walked up to the woman at the ticket counter (售票柜台)and asked, "How {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is it to get in?"
The woman said, "6 dollars for you and 3 dollars for the kids aged between 7 and 13 years old. We let them in for free if they are 6 or younger. How old are your kids?"
Bobby looked at his sons and answered, "This one is 3 years old and his big brother is 7 years old, so I think I need to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 9 dollars for you."
The woman looked surprised and said, "Hey, did you just win a lottery (中奖) or something? I don't know how old your kids are. You can just say that one is 3 and the o{#blank#}5{#/blank#}is 6. After all, I can't see the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} between 6-year-olds and 7-year-olds, and you can save 3 dollars."
Bobby said, "Yes, I can tell you that they are both under the age of 6, but the kids know that they are not the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} age as I told you. As their father, it's my job to set a good example (榜样)for them. In that {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, they can grow up to be a good and honest (诚实的) person.
Then, Bobby took his two boys by the hand and they spent a wonderful afternoon.
