The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable 45 for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.

The horrified mother 48 . “Put that back immediately！”

Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me; 49 it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a 50 hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to 51 , rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.
