A Pablo Ruiz Picasso was the favorite child of his family. He was the only boy among great many girl cousins. That was enough to make him important, but his father loved him especially, because he knew his son was going to be an artist. Pablo knew the word for himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people. If his mother sent him out to play in the square, he went on drawing in the dust under the trees. One of his favorite models was his younger sister, Lola. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m Don Jose Ruiz, Pablo's father was director of the museum at Malaga in southern Spain. He earned only a small salary, but there was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby, which was painting pigeons. don Jose loved pigeons very much. He painted them dead or alive, in ones and twos and in dozens. Sometimes he painted them on paper, and then stuck them on to canvas (»-²¼); sometimes he stuck real feathers on to his pictures. He knew a great deal about he technique of painting and he taught it all to Pablo. Life in Malaga was very pleasant. In the hot, Mediterranean (µØÖк£µÄ) sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach to look at the boats on the shore or wander round the open markets. They made a strange pair. Don Jose was tall and thin, with red hair and beard, sad gray eyes and a fine set of whiskers (÷×). He was so shy and correct that he was nicknamed "the Englishman". Pablo was quite the opposite. He had his mother's small, strong build; he had straight black hair, and bright black eyes that noticed everything that was going on around him.

At that time he was a hard-working, up-and-coming businessman and a real slave-driver, always telling us we had to sell more and more. As soon as I could, I got a job with another company. The last time I saw Rogers was more than ten years ago. At least that's what I thought until last Thursday. But now I'm not so sure. I was on my way back to my office in the center of town. There is a small park nearby which I sometimes walk through after lunch. It was almost empty, except for an unshaven, shabby-looking man on one of the benches. He looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old, gray overcoat. it was a cold, wintry day,

and he was shivering. "It's been a long time since I had a meal. Can you help me?" he said. There was something about his voice that sounded familiar. I gave him a few coins and he mumbled something about being grateful. As he stumbled (õçõÇ) past me, I looked at his face closely. I wondered where I had seen him before. Then it hit me. Could it possibly be ¡-¡-? No! Impossible, I thought. I watched him walking away. He was the same height as Rogers but looked a lot thinner than I remembered. Then, as he left the park and turned down the street, I caught sight of his face again, this time from his side. The nose was the same as Rogers' too. I almost followed him but something made me stop. I just couldn't be sure. But the resemblance (ÏàËÆ) was very close. Yesterday I ran into someone who had worked for Rogers at the same time I did, and had stayed on longer. I started telling him about the man I had seen in the park. "For a moment I thought it was our old boss. The voice, the nose, and even the face were just like Rogers. But it couldn't have been. Rogers must be the director of a big company by now." I said. My ex-colleague (ÏÈÇ°µÄͬÊÂ) shook his head. "I thought you knew." "Knew? Knew what? What are you talking about?" "Rogers was sent to prison six years ago. He's probably out by now. For all I know he's sleeping on park benches and begging money from passers-by." 1. It seems that when Rogers was the writer's boss, the writer . A. rather liked Rogers
