When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I told my patents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family was very poor.

On my birthday, my parents showed me my gift. It was a bike, but it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. It was pink, old and worn(磨损的) with age. I was so disappointed(失望)! I thought I hurt my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment on their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it. I didn’t want my parents to see my disappointment. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.

As time went by, I began to understand my parents. They gave me something much more than just an old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs(花费) two dollars isn’t any less valuable(贵重的) than the one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
