I received a letter recently from a grandmother who told me about her four-year-old granddaughter Skylar. Ever since Skylar learned of Disneyland from TV, she saved her pocket money in a piggy bank in hopes of visiting there someday. Her parents surprised her with a ______ when she was four, and didn’t use her savings(积蓄)at all!

When Skylar ______ from Disneyland, it was Christmastime. She decided to buy presents with her savings. But she also learned on TV about a local homeless shelter(无家可归人的庇护所)called “The Road House”. She _____ her mother again and again what homeless meant and why those children needed toys and warm clothes. She couldn’t seem to get the homeless ______ her mind(头脑).

Her mother took her to the shop to buy presents. Instead of buying for ______ or her family, however, she decided to buy a girl’s ______ coat and a pair of socks for the shelter. She also wanted to buy a doll (a baby, as she called it), but when she found she didn’t have enough money, she put the doll back on the shelf.

When Skylar got home, she lined up all her babies and ______ one she thought another child would also love. The baby went into a ______ with the other things she bought that day.

She was so ______ waiting for Christmas! She was thinking about going to the shelter and ______ her carefully picked gifts to a homeless child.

On Christmas Eve, she and her family drove to the shelter where Skylar presented her Christmas box to a thankful child. She was so filled with happiness at truly helping someone else, that her family has decided to make the journey to the homeless shelter an annual tradition.
