一个男孩的使命 A Boy with a Mission



In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw something in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the pricefive dollarswas far beyond Reuben Earle's means. Five dollars would buy almost a week's groceries for his family.



1945年,一个12岁的男孩在一家商店橱窗里看到一样令他心动的东西,但是5美元远不是鲁本-厄尔能付得起的。5美元几乎够买全家一周的食品呢。



Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything Mark Earle made through fishing in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, Canada. Reuben's mother, Dora, stretched like elastic to feed and clothe their five children.



鲁本不能向父亲要钱。马克-厄尔的每一分钱都是靠在加拿大纽芬兰的罗伯茨湾捕鱼挣来的。鲁本的母亲多拉,为了不让五个孩子冻着饿着,差不多是一个钱当两个钱用。
