The art of giving gifts is to give something that others cannot buy for themselves.             

                                         ------A.A. Milne

I have spent most of my career as a traveling salesman. There’s 36    lonelier than having meals myself in a coffee shop. One year, my five-year-old daughter Jeanine gave me a  37  . It was a soft toy penguin with a hand –painted  38  saying “I love My Dad!”  Tears came into my eyes and immediately, I gave it a  39  place on my desk.

    Soon I had to leave on another business  40  . This time when I was  41  , I put the penguin in my suitcase. After that day, Jeanine always helped me pack with the penguin. Many years  42  by and that little penguin has traveled with me hundreds of thousands of miles all across America and over to Europe. We have also made many friends  43   the way.

      44  one afternoon after leaving my hotel, I discovered that the penguin was  45  . Frantically, I phoned the hotel. The clerk  46   , saying it hadn’t been reported. But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late,  47   I drove several hours to get my little  48  , arriving near midnight.

   When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大厅), some   49  business travelers looked at us, I think, with some  50  and envy(羡慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to  51  it to me the very next day.

   Jeannie is in college now and I don’t travel  52  much anymore. The penguin spends most of its time  53   on my dresser­­­­­--- a reminder that  54   is the best traveling companion. All those years on the road, it was the one thing I never left home  55  .
