The day before Mother's Day, Mrs.Berry asked her students to make a card for their mothers.She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it.Then she 1 her paper in half and began writing.When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else.She felt her 2 grow hot-she hadn't heard that anyone who didn't have a mother could make one for a grandmother or an aunt.
As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried 3 her card with her arm, but Mrs.Berry gently 4 it so that she could read it.Elizabeth sat 5 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a 6 roll down Mrs.Berry's face.She had never made Mrs.Berry so upset.
When school was over, Elizabeth 7 until all the other kids left so that she could 8 .“I'm sorry for not listening.I'll make another card 9 you want.I'll do it 10 and bring it tomorrow.”
“ 11 are you talking about? ” asked Mrs.Berry.
“My Mother's Day card.I know you’re upset because I didn't do it 12 .”
“Elizabeth, that was the 13 card in the whole class.It was so 14 that it made me cry.”
Elizabeth was so 15 that she ran out of the class-room.
When her father came home from work that night, Elizabeth 16 to give him the card early.
On the front of the card was a 17 of Elizabeth's father, with a blue piece of cloth cut like his hair.Inside the card she had written:
Dear Dad,
I know you work really hard to be both a 18 and a father.I want to thank you and 19 you a Happy Mother's Day!
When her dad read the card he started 20 , just like Mrs Berry did.
