¡¡¡¡Having said goodbye to his parents, Alvin, with his wife and one-year-old son, set off back home£®¡¡¡¡1¡¡¡¡ excited, Alvin and Clare talked and laughed happily£®And even little Alax ¡¡¡¡2¡¡¡¡ from time to time£®The family were ¡¡¡¡3¡¡¡¡ from trip£®
¡¡¡¡But about three hours later things began to ¡¡¡¡4¡¡¡¡£®It was starting to snow£®Alvin sped up the car, ¡¡¡¡5¡¡¡¡ to arrive home before dark£®But it was too dangerous to drive fast now£®Because it was snowing more and more heavily£®So Alvin had to ¡¡¡¡6¡¡¡¡ down£®The snow on the ¡¡¡¡7¡¡¡¡ was getting deeper and deeper until it was hard to ¡¡¡¡8¡¡¡¡ on it£®Their car slipped(»¬Âä)off the way and got stuck in the deep snow ¡¡¡¡9¡¡¡¡ the engine refused to start again£®
¡¡¡¡¡°The snow doesn't seem to ¡¡¡¡10¡¡¡¡£®Shall we stay in the car waiting to be frozen to death or walk ahead through the snow?¡±Alvin asked£®Clare said she ¡¡¡¡11¡¡¡¡ to walk£®So they got out of the car with their son and began walking£®But ¡¡¡¡12¡¡¡¡ was to come£®Soon they lost their ¡¡¡¡13¡¡¡¡ and had to walk aimlessly on and on£®
¡¡¡¡Night came£®They were not afraid of the dark£®But they were ¡¡¡¡14¡¡¡¡ that poor Alax would die of cold£®However, their faith to keep Alax ¡¡¡¡15¡¡¡¡ made them filled with courage, warmth and strength£®They ¡¡¡¡16¡¡¡¡ and rested in turn and then continued their walk£®They had countless falls but each time true love encouraged them to rise to their ¡¡¡¡17¡¡¡¡ again£®
¡¡¡¡One, two, three,¡seven days passed£®On the eighth day, ¡¡¡¡18¡¡¡¡ at last came from Alvin's parents, the police and local people£®But the young ¡¡¡¡19¡¡¡¡ had to have their feet cut off because of the bad frost-bites(¶³ÉË)£®Fortunately, there was ¡¡¡¡20¡¡¡¡ seriously wrong with little Alax£®
¡¡¡¡As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,¡°Guess what?¡±
¡¡¡¡I always take a deep ¡¡¡¡1¡¡¡¡ on this very leading question£®¡°What?¡±I asked£®
¡¡¡¡¡°I just won a sales contest at work and the ¡¡¡¡2¡¡¡¡ is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!¡±
¡¡¡¡She was so ¡¡¡¡3¡¡¡¡£®We knew the restaurant was extremely good£®¡°See?I told you there would be a ¡¡¡¡4¡¡¡¡ for me to wear my new spring outfit,¡±she shyly reminded me£®
¡¡¡¡¡°¡¡¡¡5¡¡¡¡ can play at that game,¡±I responded£®¡°I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie£®We will be well ¡¡¡¡6¡¡¡¡£®¡±
¡¡¡¡It was early ¡¡¡¡7¡¡¡¡ and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)¡¡¡¡8¡¡¡¡ of the river£®And the table was ¡¡¡¡9¡¡¡¡ set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins£®
¡¡¡¡A delicious meal ¡¡¡¡10¡¡¡¡ in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time£®As it ¡¡¡¡11¡¡¡¡, this will probably never be forgotten£®
¡¡¡¡As the shadows lengthened, the ¡¡¡¡12¡¡¡¡ rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,¡°Why not take a walk?¡±
¡¡¡¡Hand in hand, we walked by the stores£®People smiled and nodded£®¡°I ¡¡¡¡13¡¡¡¡ realized there were so many ¡¡¡¡14¡¡¡¡ people as we have seen this evening, dear,¡±I observed£®
¡¡¡¡¡°Probably your new straw hat or your ¡¡¡¡15¡¡¡¡,¡±she said£®
¡¡¡¡After receiving many smiles, we ¡¡¡¡16¡¡¡¡ ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the ¡¡¡¡17¡¡¡¡£®It was then that I saw the ¡¡¡¡18¡¡¡¡ for all the smiles£®
¡¡¡¡Caught in the fly of my trousers and ¡¡¡¡19¡¡¡¡ down for all to see was a bright red ¡¡¡¡20¡¡¡¡ from the restaurant!
¡¡¡¡When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church£®The ¡¡¡¡1¡¡¡¡ in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into ¡¡¡¡2¡¡¡¡ based on their ages£®
¡¡¡¡One Easter Sunday, all the kids ¡¡¡¡3¡¡¡¡ with big eyes and big ¡¡¡¡4¡¡¡¡ about what the Easter Bunny(¸´»î½ÚСÍÃ)had brought£®¡¡¡¡5¡¡¡¡ all of the kids shared their stories with ¡¡¡¡6¡¡¡¡, one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat ¡¡¡¡7¡¡¡¡£®One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, ¡°And what did the Easter Bunny ¡¡¡¡8¡¡¡¡ you?¡±He replied, ¡°My mom ¡¡¡¡9¡¡¡¡ the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get ¡¡¡¡10¡¡¡¡ because he hadn't got a key£®¡±
¡¡¡¡This sounded like a ¡¡¡¡11¡¡¡¡ idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories£®My mom knew the true story, ¡¡¡¡12¡¡¡¡£®Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(»³ÒÉ)that they just couldn't ¡¡¡¡13¡¡¡¡ the Easter Bunny£®
¡¡¡¡After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to ¡¡¡¡14¡¡¡¡£®But my mom announced that we were going home ¡¡¡¡15¡¡¡¡£®At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel ¡¡¡¡16¡¡¡¡, we were going to pretend(¼Ù×°)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and ¡¡¡¡17¡¡¡¡ it at church£®We all donated(¾èÔù)some to the basket, and ¡¡¡¡18¡¡¡¡ back to church£®There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(¹Ò¹³)and attached(¸½ÉÏ)a(n)¡¡¡¡19¡¡¡¡£º
Dear Bobby,
