The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be.The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say,“You are my knight in shining armor.”He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say “You got that right”.The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded “Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price.The man's wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,“How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price.
