一个夏日,父亲派我买做围栏用的铁丝和木材。当时我16岁,心中七上八下,因为这次父亲让我向店主请求赊货。来到戴维兄弟的百货店时,店主巴克·戴维正站在收银台后跟一个中年农民谈话。我取过我要买的材料来到收银台时,战战兢兢地说:“这些货我想赊帐。” On a summer day, my father sent me to buy wire and wood for the fence. At that time I was 16 years old and my heart was going up and down because my father asked me to ask the shopkeeper to pick up the goods. When they came to the Davis Brothers department store, the owner Buck David was standing behind the cashier and talking to a middle-aged farmer. When I took the material I wanted to buy at the cashier, I said tremulously: “I want to pay for these goods.”
