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．
