? Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother’s cupboard(碗橱).

?? When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, Let’s read one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
