33．It was commencement（毕业典礼） at our college.People were pouring into the hall as I entered it.Finding the choice seats in the center of the hall already' taken，I pressed forward，looking to the right and left for a seat.Finally，I found one in the very front row.
Here a little girl moved along to make room for me，looking into my face with large gray eyes.Again and again I found my eyes turning to the rose - like face，and each time the gray eyes moved half - smiling to meet mine.Obviously ，she was ready to make friends with me.And when，with a bright smile，she returned my dropped handkerchief，and I said"thank you" ，we seemed good friends.
Other persons now coming into the seats，crowded me quite close to the girl.Her face beamed with pleasure and pride as she said，"My brother is going to graduate.He's going to deliver a speech.I' ve brought these flowers to send to him.
"That is my brother，" she went on，" that handsome one with brown wavy hair.There!He' s waving his hands now.You see him，don't you ？""I see him，"I responded."He's a very good - looking brother. "She said with delight." And he's so good and studies so hard that he has an honor to speak. "
"His speech is a good one ，and he says it beautifully.He has said it to me many times that I almost know it by heart，" the girl continued.
As the ceremony went on，my little friend became excited and restless. "Now，it' s his turn，" she said，turning to me with a face in which pride，delight and anxiety seemed equally mixed，She rose to her feet and tiptoed for a better view of her brother.By the way，her brother came up the steps and onto the stage，I also knew he was trembling.His face ：was pale and lips were blue as with a cold.I felt anxious that he might have been seized by stage fright.The little girl ，too，seemed to realize things were not well with him.
