For what?(为了什么?)
Mr. South got a letter from a friend of his and read it in his study. The head of his office called him and he went to answer. His son Bill went into the room. He began to draw a monkey on the letter. When his father went back, he could not read it any longer(不再). He beat(打)the boy and let him go out. Bill began to watch an old man mending a bike at the turning(转弯处).
"What does your father do?" asked the old man.
"He's a lawyer(律师). "
"Does he usually put others into prison(关进监狱)?"
"No, " answered the boy. "He says he can't do such foolish things(这样的傻事). "
"Do you hope to be a lawyer, too?"
"No. I hope to be a policeman. "
"For what?"
"He beat me this morning. "
