阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I watched from a distance as the homeless man
quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority.
I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a
quarter. "I'll give you a quarter if you tell me your story."
He laughed, "You'll give me a quarter for my story?" I lay the
quarter in front of him and corrected myself – "Nah, here's the quarter
but it would be nice to hear your story." I followed his eyes to the
quarter and for a brief moment I saw a bright reflection. I sat down next to
him and waited.
"I was in the army," he said. "I was a
sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down
the enemy from the distance." I listened carefully to his rough voice as
he went deeper into the story. He told
me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had
his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food
and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door,
he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting
skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set
out to fight in Iraq.
It wasn't long before he realized his ideals and
expectations were just a shadow of the truth. "I was a sniper but I
never really killed anyone innocent," he said. "One day I had
to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that
lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn't
do it."
