Mr Williams
36
his little boy by the hand, and said
37
to him, “Come, my son. I want to show you
38
in the garden.”
Harry walked into the garden with his
39
, who led him along until they came to a bed in which peas(豌豆) were growing. Not a weed(杂草) was to be
40
about their roots.
“See how beautifully these peas are
41, my son,” said Mr. Williams. “How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good

. Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker’s garden.”
Mr. Williams then

Harry to look at Mr. Parker’s pea vines.

Mr. Parker’s pea vines?”

45
looking peas in my life! The weeds are nearly as
46
as the peas themselves. There won’t be half a crop!”

plentifully. Now which would you

And to everyone’s surprise, when William was being interviewed by reporters, he answered their questions by speaking with good 10 , and with a clear and pleasant voice.
From that day on, William gave up 11 at all hours. Now he sang only during his stage appearances. People wouldn’t have thought him 12 if they had seen what William kept in his big suitcase. It was a large 13 , with a hand-carved message on it.
The message said, “Practice every second, for you never know when your 14 will come.” Little did people realize that he only got the role in the opera because the 15 had heard William singing while out buying a newspaper.
