When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I _______ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could _______ have that money.

On my birthday my parents told me they had my _______ outside in the back yard. At once I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, _______ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so _______! I thought I hurt my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment _______ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I _______ the old bike and rode it, feeling bad that I had made my parents feel this way. 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 gave me _______ much more than just a rusty(生锈的)old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is _______. What matters is the love that is in it. 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 ________ two dollars isn’t any less valuable than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
