when i was in idaho,i used to buy 求原文.

When I was in Idaho,I used to buy fresh produce at Mr.Miller’s store.One day,I noticed a
small boy hungrily 36 the green peas.The conversation between them 37 me deeply.
“Hello Barry.Would you like to 38 some peas home?”
“No,I have no money.”
“Well,what do you have to trade me for them?”
“A marble （玻璃弹球）”
“Oh,this is blue.Do you have a(n) 39 one?”
“Yes.”
“Take this bag of peas home and next 40 this way let me look at that red marble.”
“I’m sure I will.Thanks Mr.Miller.”
Mrs.Miller,who had been standing nearby,came over to help me.With a smile,she said,
“There are two other 41 like him in our community.Jim often bargains with them for peas,
apples,tomatoes,or whatever.When they 42 with their red marbles,he 43 he doesn’t like red
after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green or orange marble,perhaps.”
Several years went by.Just recently I happened to 44 that Mr.Miller had died.I went to the
mortuary（太平间）to offer his relatives words of comfort.Three young men walked 45 up to
Mrs.Miller.Each of them 46 her spoke briefly with her and 47 Mr.Miller’s casket（棺材）
.Each young man stopped,placed his own 48 hand over the cold pale hand and left,49 his
eyes.
When I told Mrs.Miller who I was and 50 the story about the marbles,she said,“Those
three young men were the boys I told you about.They just told me how they 51 the things Jim
“traded” them.Now,they came to pay their 52 .We’ve never had much wealth but right now,
Jim would consider himself the 53 man in Idaho.”
With loving 54 ,she lifted her husband’s lifeless fingers,where there were three shiny red
55 .
