Mike Hayes proved he was smart in his first year at college.In 2007,while he was a student at the University of Illinois,he came up with an idea to solve his tuition fee(学费)and college costs problem.Hayes thought everyone could afford to give him a penny.
He wrote to Chicago Tribune writer Bob Greene.Hayes each of the newspaper’s readers to send him a penny.Greene thought the idea sounded fun and agreed to do it.
“Just one penny,”Hayes said,“ A penny doesn’t mean anything to anyone.If everyone
who is reading your paper looks around the room right now,there will be a book under a seat ,or on the corner of the desk,or on the floor.That’s all I’m asking .A penny from each of your readers.”
In less than a month,the Many Pennies for Mike Fund(基金)had around 2.3 million pennies.Not everyone sent only a penny,many even sent dollars.Money was received from every state in the United States.So,Hayes reached his 28,000 dollars target(目 标)and went on to get money for his degree in food science from the University of Illinois.
Perhaps the last____ is best left to his father,Bill Hayes:“When Mike first told me about his idea ,I just laughed and said that I thought it was foolish—which shows you that he’s smarter than I am.

正确答案是word 可我不能理解.这句话怎么翻啊?我认为是意为：假设最后一个单词是留给他父亲最好的.可是后面的话是他父亲说的

Mike Hayes proved he was smart in his first year at college.In 2007,while he was a student at the University of Illinois,he came up with an idea to solve his tuition fee(学费)and college costs problem.Hayes thought everyone could afford to give him
last word有结束语,结局的意思,
perhaps the last word is best left to his father 也许这个故事结尾就该留给他的爸爸吧（来总结把）

这word的意思是：一句话。因为他后面说的是一句话。这句的意思是：也许最后一句话才是留给他父亲的最好的东西。
