As I held my father's hands one night. I couldn't help but notice their calluses(老茧) and roughness(粗糙). His hands tell the story of his life as a1, including all his struggles.
One summer, I remember, a drought(旱灾) hit Ontario, turning it into a burning desert. On one of those hot mornings I was picking sweet corn with my2 to fill the last order from the food store. Fifty dozen(一打)was all we needed which3 took twenty minutes. That morning¸ however, the process(过程) didn't go4. After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field we5 needed twenty dozen. I was completely sad and6. Dropping the basket heavily I shouted." If the store wants its last twenty dozen they can pick it themselves!" Dad laughed. "Just think my little girl only ten dozen left for each of us and then we're7." Such is Dad whatever problem he8 he never gives up.
9 the very bad influence of the drought were felt all over our country. It was a challenging time for everyone 10 Dad remained hopeful. It was then that I truly began to thank Dad for his faith that guided us through the hard times.
Dad is also a living example of real11. From day to night he works hours and hours to12 our family. He always puts our happiness13 his own and never fails to cheer me up at my sports games even though he is very14 after long days. His loving and selfless nature has encouraged me to become more helpful putting other15.
Dad the life. I have learned from you will stay with me forever. You are my father, teacher, friend and most importantly my hero.
