When Susan Chen left high school, she wanted to go to university. Unfortunately, her father was quite poor, and a university education cost a lot of money.
“Take the entrance examination,” her father said, “and we’ll think of something if you pass.”
Susan took the examination. She did not score very high marks, but she scored enough, and was offered a place at the university.
“I’m very proud of you, Susan,” her father said. “I must find the money for a university education for you somehow.”
“But how, Dad?” Susan asked.
“Well, I can sell my car and work a lot of overtime. I can even work at two jobs if necessary, one during the day and one at night.”
“You’re a very generous father,” Susan said.
“Your future is worth the sacrifice,” he told her.
The next day he sold his car and asked his boss to give him three hours overtime every day. This meant walking to work and working 12 hours a day, seven days a week, but he did not complain. His daughter’s education was worth it.
A year passed. Susan took her first-year examination.
When the results were announced（宣布）, she ran home to tell her father the news.
“Dad,” she said, “I’ve got my examination results. You’ll be so pleased.”
“You’ve passed!” he exclaimed.
“Guess what? I got the third place and won the scholarship. You can get your car back and stop working so hard.”
