Delia was a young pianist. Her husband, Joe, was a young artist. Each of them took lessons with very great teachers. So the lessons were expensive, more than they could afford (供得起), but…when you love your art,1is too much.
Soon they couldn't afford the lessons any more. Then one day Delia told Joe that someone wanted to learn the piano from her and would 2 her $50 an hour.
"Delia," Joe said, "I'll be much happier if you keep up your lessons." Delia said, "When I have money, I'll go on with it." But Joe, at the same time, also 3 his lessons to draw pictures and sell them.
A few days later, Joe came home and 4 took $200 with him. "I met a man from Vermont and he 5 my picture. And he wants to buy more!", So they were very happy. They didn't have to worry about money.
One day, Joe came home and saw Delia's hand was wrapped in a bandage (绷带). Delia told him she hurt her 6.
"Delia,7 are you doing these days?" Joe asked. She tried not to tell him, but the tears went down.
"Oh. Joe, I couldn't get any student, so I worked as a waitress in a restaurant.
Today, I hurt my hand with hot water. 8we can still have money from the man in Vermont.
Joe looked at her. "There's no man in Vermont, he said, I'm working in a 9, and today someone came to buy bandages10 a woman who hurt her hand. So when I saw you, well, I knew. "
We are willing to do anything for the ones, though it may be hard. Nothing is too much but the love. That's true.
