I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, But we had a 41 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 42 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was 43 . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t 44 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 45 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 46 .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 47 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 48 to share by all five of us.
The big 49 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 50 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 51 back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 52 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 53 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 54 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 55 to be angry again. This is what she told me.
“I was looking 56 thinking of what to buy, and I 57 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 58 for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 59 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so 60 as I did that day.
